When you work out what's happening, when your phone's credit dissapears; or get a huge bill.
you ring up and complain and are patched thru to a call centre; where you are told sorry and you are just out of pocket for calls,
or you must pay a cancellation fee to get out of your 'contract' with them.
your call or text is legally, in a loop holey way, a binding agreement based on your acceptance of their invitation to call.
so check your phone bill. lol nigel | people who invent shit like this deserve more than just a punch in the throat.  |
