I called less then a minute ago to cancel my free aol trial.........how unsucessful. Who knew that it would be a task to cancel.........I talked to this person for about a half an hour and the person practically made me keep it........i am going to call back tomarrow and demand them to cancel my account right away........ARRGG. I am not going to be able to sleep tonight...........DAMNIT!!!
 
Mine was pretty nice considering circumstances, but then again we were already paying customers :p

I didnt even know what my SN I signed up for my free accout on lol, so just told them a few details and they scrubbed it out.
 
That sucks. I wouldn't have backed down and wouldn't have hung up the phone without them cancelling it.

:rofl: I know your pain.
 
i said i just wanted to cancel it, he asked why? i said i didnt want it. Guess what that guy said next? He said that it costs a lot of money to activate an account and they are losing money from people canceling.......then he said that they give money to charity's, and when i take money away from them by canceling, i am actually taking money after from starving children...........

tomarrow i am just going to say to that guy, those children can starve for all i care asscrack!

He filled you with BS and you caved. He can sleep tonight.
 
You're welcome. You know that you can search Penny Arcade's comics? That's how I found the comic, I just searched for asheron and found it.
 
i have been going over this in my head for the last ten minutes, i think i know what i am going to say........i will be nice at first, ya know........but if they try to get me to stay.....im gonna be all like "YO ASSHAT, CANCEL IT OR ill RAPE YOU!"

any comments? Good??? Do you think it will get the point across that i dont think i want aol anymore???
 
AOL sucks. Even if they say they cancel, make sure to watch your credit card bill because they will continue to charge you.
 
stocker08 - did you sign up for and get the $100 Gift Certificate already? (if you dont know what I mean, that promo is over)

Well, make sure and be aggressive, just don't be an ass about it. Unless, of course, they are first.

yeah I think I spelled asheron's call wrong because it didn't pop up, I found the other one with the beattle ring instead.

Maybe you should tell them that your phone is being disconnected, basically imply that your broke and you won't be able to pay them.
 
i signed up for AOL through a free mp3 player thing.......i just recived credit for it last night.......ARRGGHH, i cant belive i crumbled, i wish i could meet that guy. I would give him a swift kick to the nuts.
 
Just tell them that your canceling your phone line and or else they will give you a bunch of bs. And if they ask you to kept your account alive for 4.99 tell them no, and you have 6 months to decide if you want to sign up again without losing your sn. AOL is a bunch of bitches, I laughed at my csr when he finally gave up and canceled my account. I told him a bunch of bs, like i was moving, im not using a computer anymore, blah blah before he gave in. fuck aol.
 
[quote name='zewone']The hell? I always hear its hard to cancel AOL. Just tell those shaq-fuers shut up and cancel it. Thats what I did.[/quote]

It is hard, plus much of their customer service is outsourced. Once you do get through to cancel, they will try their asses off to keep you (offer you two free months, etc etc). Then after you leave them... they keep sending you cards wanting you back with offers. It isn't worth it... especially if you already have a broadband connection. Then they're just charging you 14 bucks a month for their content and features.

yeah its amazing what they throw at you, at one point they were spending on average $14 for each new user. But since so few people ever left they made bank on it.
 
they are like death reapers, they know exactally what to say and when to say it to keep you from canceling. I am going to ask that they send a Cancelation Confirmation to my email so i KNOW they canceled it. I dont want a giant bill from them......BASTARDS I PIST or PISSED, whichever is angrier.....
 
It still boggles my mind why people continue to use aol, I understand you were going for the free mp3 player, but for anyone else there is no excuse.
 
It took 8 free months before they said "Ok, you had a lot of free months" you can drop us.

Also when you are on the phone with them, they try to get you to stay with them by saying if you do something like surveys(can't remember exactly what) you will get a full deduction on your bill each month which means you get their internet service fore free, but by the time you talked to them for thirty minutes about canceling you don't want to hear it.

most of the people I know on it either got addicted to the AOL servieces (chat rooms and whatnot) and don't have the effort to enter other ones. Or they don't know anything about computers and its a reliable service for them.

Don't forget about the privated movies and video games.
 
Everyone is always bad-mouthing Microsoft but I think AOL is the worst technology company out there. They are nothing but a bunch of son-of-a-bitches
 
Hahaha, the trick to dealing w/ AOL ppl is to not care and stand firm. If they say, "Oh, the money we make we give to charity so if you quit, then the money won't go to the charity and the children will die!" respond with something like, "That's ok, everytime I masturbate, Satan kills a kitten and rapes their carcasses. Needless to say, they don't call me kittykiller for nothing." You don't necessarily need to use those exact words (I'd be laughing my butt if someone did) but the point is to stay firm and cancel. If they simply won't give up, ask them for their full name and operator number. If they refuse, tell them, "If you won't give your information to me, then why should I go out of my way to stay w/ your company?" They then tell you, then ask them to speak to their supervisor. If you get to this point, PM me since obviously the guy needs a nickel to buy a clue and I've got lots of nickels...

I've got AOL free for 2 months... I have to make sure I don't get charged after. Thanks.
 
Hey guys look at AOL TOS, it says you can call customer service or send them a fax...if you send a fax with all the info they require...then you can avoid all the hassle

What matters about that w/ your screenname? I've had AIM for a long time but I've never signed up w/ AOL at all
 
[quote name='jaykrue']I've had AIM for a long time but I've never signed up w/ AOL at all[/quote]

You don't have to have AOL to use AIM, but I believe unless you registered with AIM first, when you cancel AOL you lose the ability to use your AOL screename on both AOL and AIM....at least for like 6 months, then you can get it back.
 
ok, i called today and said i was moving.....the person still said about 30 diferent things to keep me from canceling.......who knew that people would have to lie to get rid of something like this.....who started this crap...damn canadians....thats who
