what!? 3.99$ a minute?! Doesn't say that on mine! IT only says International Rates! ...I wwonder what that means...

Take a look for yourself!

XLinkX · #2 05-06-2002, 12:27 AM

I live in Canada....and I dont know the rate!

Can someone tell me the rates for where I live of where to find out what the rates are? Thanks!

International Rate could be just some clever scheme to hide the actual cost, I don't know

Amagius · #4 05-06-2002, 12:58 AM

There' been WAY too many threads about the Phone Dialer.

AlexH · #5 05-06-2002, 01:12 AM

More importantly.
Where does it call.
Cause if its in France international rate isnt so bad.
But if its in America then its pretty high for me.

I think the phone idea is stupid unless they make it cheaper

Domini · #7 05-06-2002, 01:21 AM

The idea is that you stay connected for the amount of time it takes for it to pay ($4 per minute, 15 dollars, you do the math)

lol whoever uses the phone is gonna end up paying more than the actual account

It stays connected as long as you need to stay to pay the selected item, its made so that you don't pay more than the price AFAIK. The dialer window doesn't display the price for all countries, but the server you are connecting does

mmmmkay: Ohh, I see now! I thought it would charge the selected item price, on top of the price for the phone call.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #11 05-06-2002, 03:56 AM

Oh, so you are basically paying for the account by that rate? That isn't such a bad idea then

CheeToS2 · #12 05-06-2002, 04:21 AM

I still haven't even found the dialer.. only the dll that comes with it x.x
How do I get to it?

Slaktmaster · #13 05-06-2002, 04:33 AM

Argh, Stefan already said this before. It took quite some time for people to grasp that is doesn't charge more because of the high rate.

Your account can't be upgraded. you just go into the graal program, and there is a buttion there

CheeToS2 · #15 05-06-2002, 09:36 AM

i only see a "pay by credit card" button.. & that takes me to the paypal stuff

I've circled where the option should be, if you still can't find it you should update Graal.

CheeToS2 · #17 05-06-2002, 04:59 PM

hmm.. weird.. I don't have that button, & i'm using the most recent version.

[edit]maybe because I still have 12 days left on my account or something? x.x I do have the pay by credit card button though x.x[/edit]

Ok, I just tested it, the pay by phone button doesn't show up if your account still has some time left.

Amagius · #19 05-06-2002, 07:19 PM

So now I have to wait 171 days....

DarkDragon452 · #20 05-06-2002, 10:10 PM

Ok I have a friend of mine (in real life) that wants to upgrade using my computer (becuase the pathetic fool doesn't have a modem himself). So is everything automated? Or do I have to sit there with a stopwatch and make sure we don't spend more than 15 bucks? I was a bit worried about jacking up my phone bill... my parents would kill me..

Phone Bill
-----------------
xxxx-$xxxx
Graal Online-$15.00
French Bank-$275.00
Long distance-$34.00

Total-----------$324.00
---------------------------

My parents would have a heart attack! x.x

Stefan said that it disconnects automattically after you've paid enough in this very thread.

Gangster88 · #22 05-07-2002, 06:17 PM

GangsterBebop · #23 05-08-2002, 01:48 AM

You already have the lifetime classic thing if you payed for 2k1. Unless you want 2k1 again I guess.
