VeriSign’s m-Qube: “Treat it like a CANCER”

By on January 16, 2008 in Services

Gordon Medley was so unimpressed at finding a mysterious $9.99 charge on his handset, he eventually had to change his phone number… Nicht gut!

I strongly suggest that you review your next wireless bill and look for any reference to m-Qube. Regardless of whom your cell provider is, m-Qube can and will attack and bill you. If you see m-Qube on your bill, treat it like a CANCER! Cancel your account if you have to, or at a minimum, change your number. Anything less will not work.

Have we still not, as an industry, got this sort of nonsense fixed? It just needs one guy such as Gordon to have a bad experience and he’ll tell hundreds of people who’ll all take a second look the next time they think about signing up for a mobile service.

    hmm you’re fueling this idiots post. I can’t abhor people using the word ‘cancer’ so flippantly. He also uses the word ‘poop’ which is bad in a different altogether more weird way.

    Ultimately if he gives M-Qube or Verisign a call (it takes about 23 seconds on a slow day to find their contact details) he would have found out he’s likely to be in a content monthly subscription which he invariably did sign up to, they would have unsubscribed him, and would have assisted in getting a refund from the service provider should it have been required.

    Now I’m fueling the fire by even commenting.. doh.

    Sorry “njar”, you are wrong on all counts. I did try to contact them but it was ATT posting the charge. Guess you didn’t understand much of anything.

    Apparently, there are lots of cell phone complaints out there about this:
