I just subscribed and added an ad-blocker.

If I wanted to cancel, I'm not going to be able to call though, as I live in Australia. I thought there were laws in some states of the U.S. that meant you have to be able to unsubscribe through a form though?




I'm confused, why can you not call a US number from Australia? Is it prohibitively expensive?


In the UK it would certainly be _annoyingly_ expensive, given I'm calling because I want to stop spending money on whatever. I'd expect a connection fee + ~£1/min + rate they charge an American caller, and you know you're going to be kept on hold for ages.

It's bad enough calling to complain/cancel a local company - I've paid several pounds a time; I certainly avoid it if at all possible, and would more so with an overseas company.


Yes, it would. There is also the time zone difference.


might also be the time difference. You'd have to wake up pretty early to catch 5pm.
