Boy that was an easy way to save 14.95 per month!
Just FYI, here's what the confirmation screen says about what's included in the free plan:
AOL Free Service
This plan gives you unlimited usage of AOL over a high-speed connection (purchased separately from your local cable or telephone company) or a dial-up connection (purchased separately from another company).
This plan includes:
Basic Safety Features - including anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, parental controls, spam fighting, and anti-phishing. Downloads available at AOL Keyword: Safety. Anti-phishing requires use of AOL Explorer or AOL software.
7 AOL Screen Names
Automated customer support - Note: this plan does not include phone, email or chat customer support.
Video-on-demand and 20 XM radio stations
FREE AIM Phoneline - including unlimited inbound calls
Notes:
- High-speed connection is not included
- Dial-up connection is not included
- Premium services are subject to charges
Please note:
- This price plan will go into effect within 48 hours. You will still be under your current plan until this change becomes effective.
- Although you will no longer be charged any monthly membership fee, you will be responsible for any other charges you might have incurred since your last billing date as well as any outstanding balance on your account and any premium services to which you have separately subscribed.
- An additional $5 charge will still apply if premium services or additional fees are paid through your checking account or telephone bill.
so not sure if I cut it too close to the wire or it will kick in before they bill...my luck it won't......
