Netzero used to be a too back in the dial up days.
Hey, have you read this. This guy had one heck of a time trying to
cancel his AOL account. There is even an Audio and transcript of his
call.

That was one of the most frustrating things I ever had to do.
Took me 3 months to cancel, I had communication problems with the AOL reps, they were from India and either they didn't understand what I needed or I wasn't clear enough. Either way it suckes that companies go offshore. Maybe they wanted to make it hard to cancel so that customers give up trying and just keep AOL
"Is your dad home?"
AAHAHAHAHAH!
Ive never had to experience it first hand, but my mom had alot of trouble canceling AOL. Those ers are persistent as and very annoying. I get from them all the time in the mail. It goes right in the trash I would never use that garbage.
Don't throw away those disks!
You can paint them and make them into Christmas Tree ornaments.
Or I could be cool and hang a disk from my rear view mirror on my car.
Or as a drink coaster.
more or less in the same "sell to you until you go insane" vein:
A REMINDER....
In less than 26 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. .
YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS...
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a
minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.
HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS &
OR GO TO: www.donotcall.gov
From that site:
What Phone Numbers Can I Register?
10. Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry?
Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don’t call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

'FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers"
The industry-owned FCC should also ban automated dialers calling to wired phones.
Now that's a conservative idea I can liberally approve... or something like that... or is this the way to say it?

I had no problems at all cancelling my AO account. I just quit paying them.
Hahah
I once tried cancelling a trial membership, only to learn I could keep extending the trial period by calling in saying I was going to cancel it."Well, maybe if you go ahead and try it for one more month you may like it".
I tried to cancel a couple of times and they just kept lowering their rate on me. I ended up paying $9.95 a month for service I had originally been paying $23.99 a month for. Eventually even that grew tiresome and I had absolutely no need for AOL and cancelled, without any of the problems mentioned in the article.
I heard it was easier if you just sent them a letter stating your intent and all your information. It only took a couple weeks.
i used to use the trial account for years, u just call and tell them your gonna cancel and they add 2 more months until one day... i forgot to call before the trial period ended and i owe them like 20 bucks...
AOL sucks ass.
