One month ago, I saw a promotion on internet for a free download of a ringtone. Due to curiosity, I gave out my cell phone number and service carrier.By entering the access code I received from email, I found I could not download any ringtone because I do not have the download service from my phone service carrier. Within next five minutes, I received a text message telling me that I have subscribed two services about ten bucks each (I wasn't even told who was the service provider.). I canceled both services immediately by sending out two text messages and got two messages back confirming the two cancelations.
However, my Sprint account has been charged for $19.98 this month by Flycell for the service I did not know or request. I do not know if I will get my money back or not, since I have the same kind of trouble to reach help from flycell.com as others. I would just like to let everyone know "it's a trap" from Flycell.com. Once Flycell knows the cell phone number and service carrier, it can bill you without your consent by assigning unrequested services to you!
It could be a "scam". Be aware!
