so I signed up for a `free`(0.1) Freedompop sim/freedom pop premier combo trial on the 17th of november Itarrived on the 23d where it sat in the box until friday morning, when I decided to goto the trouble of sim unlocking my device to test it
unlocked My klte poped the sim in installed there app set the apn was off to the races sent a few txts made one call used 5mb of data all well and fine having to use there badly written app to call/txt was annoying enough but whatever
decided it wasn't a good time to go though the bother of porting my number and switching so decided to downgrade to the 'free' plan which was wasn't the most intuitive process but hey whatever, I turn off all automated payments disabled auto topup ect ect 10 days left in the billing cycle.
now this stage I should mention that account had 10 dollars of credit that came with the black friday bundle, I was never charged for it it was never on my invoice it was just there
about 30 seconds later I get a automated email from paypal saying I was being charged 10 dollars for a 'pre-authorised payment'.full stop why I was I being charged 10 bucks for a account credit I didn't want and didn't ask for and had been on the account for 4 weeks,
so a few extremely unhelpful forum posts later I was told that freedom pop charges a 10 dollar account credit for downgrading service (which begs the question why didn't they just take there 10 dollar account credit back and be done with it)
Yea No not gonna happen
lesson learned folks if it looks to good to be true it probly is.
paypal dispute opened they will probably terminate my account Good riddance I say
