		<description>same thing happened here. had a chat session with one of their reps and i thought the whole internet community would read this.

&quot; ( 2008 01 pm)Please wait...
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): louwel-Guest
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): How can I help you?
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): hi, i wanted to cancel my service, i called the customer service line and transferred me from one agent to another then to a voicemail. I just signed up from your company couple days ago and wanting to cancel it now for the fact that i&#039;m not receiving a very good call quality from your service.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): it would be much more convenient and have a cancel service button in your website but it doesn&#039;t so here i am.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): Please give me your packet 8 phone number, or email on your account and your packet 8 passphrase on your account?
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): (520)***-***, ******* (passphrase), ***@yahoo.com
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): Let me investigate further.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): ok, go ahead.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): yellow?
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): 1 moment
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): Your order has not been shipped yet, I can cancel the shipping and whole order.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): ok, thanks, but i just signed up for the mobile talk, i didn&#039;t order anything from your warehouse like the phone.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): and i&#039;ve deleted the application from my blackberry already.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): i just wanted to cancel my service and not be billed for anything before my 30day trial period ends.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): You will not be billed unless you use the mobile talk service.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): You can just not use the service or uninstall the service and you will not get billed because there is no monthy charge
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): right, but i wanted to totally unsubscribe from your service.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): You can take your credit card off the account if you wish
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): i cannot do that. it would ask me to replace it with another one. won&#039;t let me just take the credit card off the account.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): I can do that.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): tried that already.
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): I can do it for you 1 moment
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): thank you sir.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): &quot;Please note that only unused credit cards can be deleted. A credit card designated for consolidated billing or registered against a non-closed account cannot be removed.&quot; from your website.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): hello?
Esteban ( 2008 01 pm): Once your account is canceled it will be off
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): yes i know that for sure and is obviously the reason why i contacted customer service.
louwel ( 2008 01 pm): esteban we&#039;re going in circles. can you just close my account?
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): I am sorry I can not close accounts.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): YOu have a case open to close the account it will be closed shortly
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): what? we&#039;ve been here for the past 25 minutes and you&#039;re telling me you cannot close accounts?
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): I tried to help you as best as I can and you already have a case requesting to close your account, there is nothing I can do at this point
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): yes i did. have you even read the response from your co-worker the first time i tried to close it? it says to call customer line and i did, all they did was to transfer me from one agent to another then to a voicemail.
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): this is the 4th time i tried to request to close my account.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): Did you leave a voice mail? And your case will be answered and your account will be closed.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): If you leave a case that is all you have to do .
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): yes i did leave a voicemail. and from the reviews that i&#039;ve gathered from packet8, neither one of their voicemails was returned.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): The cancellation voice mail do not have to be returned they just close your account
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): do not have to be returned? then why did they say in the voicemail that a representative will return our call?
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): I really do not know what else to say to you other then your account will be cancelled and your credit card will be taken off the account.
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): ok, thank you so much for your time esteban.
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): i&#039;ll keep my eye on the account and save this conversation as well as my details in my account requesting to cancel my service. if this company would still charge me for the $59.99 cancellation then this report would go to FTC, FCC and the BBB.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): You will not get charged that.
louwel ( 2008 02 pm): ok, thank you sir. you have a nice day ahead.
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): Thank you for choosing Packet8! Have a great day!
Esteban ( 2008 02 pm): So nice to talk to you. Good-bye!
