Question about subscription...

[Purzel]

Hi there!!!

I've got one question: When u (or I) subscribe and enter my creditcard-info - will i be asked every month if i want to continue my subscription or will HTC just chrge me every month (possibly) regardless of whether i was online or not???

U know, im from Germany, and when someone from US charges me (not righteous of couse i will have A LOT of trouble getting the money back, when the "charger" isnt willing to give it back.
So u could say the for maybe 100$ is wasnt worth the trouble geting the money back.

Don't get me wrong: I DONT THINK HTC WANTS TO CHEAT ME!!! (But be honest: U're getting f§$%ked everywhere nowadays  

OK, i found it nice if got some answer from all u, who have already a subscription, because im a student and i do not have too much spare money  

OK, then, cu all!

You will be charged automatically every month. You can also send checks or money orders ahead of time- some people buy blocks of time (say, 3-month intervals).

Yes, giving credit card info to foreign companies can be risky, but HTC has a pretty good track record so far.

Ok, thx, for first.

OIne question left - how am i able to "suspend" my account. E.g. if i dont wanna fly for a month or two, because i dont have the time - will i have to close my account or will i be able just to set some flag not to be charged until i start flying again?

And (think it will be this way) when i close my account, will i be able to open another with a different account-name, but the same "handle" (only if someone other didnt use it meanwhile   )

I haven't done this yet, but here is the conventional wisdom on that one...

You can reduce your account to a head-to-head account, which is nonpaying. This would preserve your handle, and costs you nothing.

If you drop altogether I would not be certain that you can reuse your name if you give them different registration info.

Ahhh, thx, that was what I needed. So my account would persist while i do not have to pay.

OK, thats it for me, ill subscribe - within the next few weeks - have to do some tests first  

OK, thx again!

Ahh ... but how do you reduce your account to H2H? Would you just remove your credit card number? I think this is the question alot of people are trying to ask.

Sorry, Exile. I haven't added because I don't know. I haven't been through the process before...
