Free Cheese Price

    image
    The proverb about free cheese has long been known. Let’s see how this proverb works among companies that maintain user or subscriber accounts. An interesting aspect that I want to draw attention to is the charge-off when switching to the "inactive user" mode. If you are interested in a small “greed rating”, welcome to cat.

    Among other things, let's try to assess how difficult it is to find this information.

    Let's start with mobile operators


    They all charge off without any notice, but the rules are different for everyone.

    Beeline

    Inactive user in: 90 days.
    Subscription fee: 5 rubles per day.
    The information is written in small print on the page with a detailed description of any tariff on the operator’s website.

    Megaphone

    Inactive user in: 89 days.
    Subscription fee: 30 rubles per month.
    Like Beeline, the information is in the detailed description of tariffs, indicated in small print.
    Upd 2: an example is given for the Perm Territory and the tariff that is displayed first on the site. As it turned out, thanks to the pcdesign user , in different regions and at different tariffs the conditions are slightly different. It happens 80 days and 90 rubles a month.

    MTS

    Inactive user in: 183 days.
    The entire amount is debited to the account, the service is terminated.
    Also, after 61 days with a balance of no higher than 0.01, service is terminated and the number is taken from the subscriber. Information can be obtained from the PDF file with a fine print of 2 pages. When you connect a new subscriber, he is given a bunch of paid options that are provided for several days free of charge. Small print also indicates what and how to disable.

    Rostelecom

    Inactive user in: 60 days.
    Subscription fee: 1.5 rub. in a day.

    Now let's move on to payment systems


    There are also "surprises."

    Yandex money

    Information could not be found. In practice, it was not necessary to reach any limits either.

    Qiwi

    Inactive user after: 6 months.
    Subscription fee: 10 rubles per day, debiting once a month starting from the next month after assigning the status of an inactive user.
    Information is given in the offer, which is available as a PDF file with 18 pages.
    Write-off is carried out, as expected, without notifying the user and there is one subtle point. The fact is that the offer has the following clause:
    "5.7. The User is notified and confirms his consent that all operations in the Service are carried out only if the User enters the correct Authentication data. Without the introduction of Authentication data, only operations to replenish the personal account of the mobile operator, in the network of which the User's Subscriber Number is registered, can be performed. At the same time, the Service Operator is not responsible for the execution of the relevant Payments by the User. ”
    In fact, I have to go to my personal account and pay the invoice, in fact, there are no notifications, and in the payment history you can find a check of the following content:
    Operator: Write-off
    Phone number / accounts: 730
    Transferred: 300.0 RUB
    You can understand what’s the matter only by talking to the support service, which, of course, indicates that the user has been inactive for 6 months - and here is the result.

    Money @ Mail.ru

    Inactive user after: 1 year.
    Subscription fee: 350 rubles per year.
    Information is available on the page with tariffs, is given in regular font at the very beginning of the description.

    Moneymail

    Inactive user after: 11 months.
    Subscription fee: 15 rubles per month.

    Tinkoff Mobile Wallet

    Inactive user in: 180 days.
    Subscription fee: 10 rubles per day.

    Instead of a conclusion


    I checked the conditions of service for those companies that first came to mind and sometimes the inattentive client of which I was. Additions in the comments are welcome. Take care of your health and funds on the accounts.

    Upd: Thanks to the users for the information: Beltoev for MoneyMail, AlexeyZhohov for Tinkoff Mobile Wallet. Added to the general list.
