Hi all I was wanting to know ... does AOL cost anything? Does it bill you phone extra charges? I have dsl thru my local phone company. I was interested in another club name, then I noticed it's $34.99 a year now. Isn't it only $19.99 for AOL members? Thanks sp.gf
Yes AOL cost you money. It would be cheaper just to pay the 34.99
yeah AOL costs me $14.95 a month
if you get aol...I will say welcome to aol hell for ya
I don't use aol, but do have another account, using an aol e-mail. if you have aim messenger, you have an aol e-mail, not sure if this helps or not.
aol may not be that good.but to me i think its far better then msn,netscape,net zero and all them crappy lil ones :)
dont get anything through aol... AOL SUX!!!! >:(
Simple way around this. Sign up for AOL using the free whatever time it gives you. During that time, sign up for Club Pogo using AOL. I believe they're still giving AOLers the $19.95 a year rate but I might be wrong. If they are, then you'll only pay $19.95 and you can then cancel AOL before your trial period is up. So you'll get a chance to sign up for Club Pogo at a cheaper rate and get some free time thru AOL. Of course, if they're no longer giving AOLers the discount, then it's a waste of time!

Before going down this road, ask yourself this: is it worth saving $10-15 going through the hassle of trying to get AOHell to cancel your trial period? I know people that attempted to cancel within 1-3 weeks of starting the free trial, and all of them ended up getting charges on their CC. Granted, this was back when they required a CC to sign up; I don't know if that has changed. Eventually the charges were removed, but talk about s***ty business practices!

Well, I've had FREE AOL for years. I call to cancel, they give me three months free. I call to cancel at the end of three months, I get a few more free months. I like AOL. I like the features and I LOVE the email. I've had the account for 14 years. But that's just me. OH, yeah, it's $34.99 for AOLer's now.

Unless you buy the Club Membership......AOL'ers only get to play like 5 diff. club games a month now

AOL cost 9.99 a month "IF" you get the subscription called " AOL BROADBAND"... I know... thats what I paid... thats what I have... and 'IF" they deduct that monthly payment via your credit card... if you pay for it by another method its more. 9.99 +19.99 =29.98

Naw, just tell them I don't want it anymore, I another ISP. I'm not mean but I'm not azz kissy, either.
My renewal last June was $19.99 for automatically charging my credit card. I'll let y'all know when it comes up in a couple of months how much it is.

Buncha frickin' rocket scientists here, I tell ya! :)) :))
Just kiddin'
LMAO Glad Bubblegum resolved that math dilemma. Hey, just think if you gave up a spb.gif for a day you would be way ahead of the game!
btw re: AOL.. nobody should be paying more than $9.95/mnth for an account.. If you are, just call them and say that everyone you know only pays $9.95. They will give it to you.
