Info on GEnie Star*Services
NOTICE: TO ALL CONCERNED Certain text files and messages contained on this site deal with activities and devices which would be in violation of various Federal, State, and local laws if actually carried out or constructed. The webmasters of this site do not advocate the breaking of any law. Our text files and message bases are for informational purposes only. We recommend that you contact your local law enforcement officials before undertaking any project based upon any information obtained from this or any other web site. We do not guarantee that any of the information contained on this system is correct, workable, or factual. We are not responsible for, nor do we assume any liability for, damages resulting from the use of any information on this site.
On October 1, GEnie will introduce GEnie Star*Services. For $4.95 a month, you
are entitled to unlimited non-prime time use of the following services:
GEnie Star*Services:
* News, Weather, Sports Top Stories
* Travel Information & Reservations
* Closing Stock Quotations
* Electronic Encyclopedia
* GE Mail (TM) electronic mail
* Leisure and Professional Bulletin Boards
* Classic GEnie single player games
* Shopping Services
* Subscription to GEnie's LiveWire
Magazine
GEnie Star*Services are available from 6 PM to 8 AM local time on weeknights,
all day Saturday and Sunday and on GEnie weekday holidays.
GEnie Star*Services accessed during prime time hours are charged at the prime
time rates, but during non-prime time they can be accessed with no standard
connect time rates! So for $4.95 a month, during non prime time, you can send
and receive all the email you want, get unlimited closing stock quotes, use our
online encyclopedia, shop GEnie Mall, get information about your favorite
hobby, and more! There are NO standard connect charges when accessing GEnie
Star*Services during non prime time. All other GEnie services will be charged
at normal connect rates. Telecommunications surcharges, if applicable, still
apply.
To make it less expensive to use other GEnie services, GEnie will lower its non
prime time 2400 baud rate to $6 per hour, versus the current $10 per hour on
October 1st. That's a 40% reduction! So all GEnie users with 2400 baud modems
(now may be the time to get one if you don't have one yet) will enjoy the
faster speed at a greatly reduced rate.
So GEnie's rates on October 1 will be:
PRIME NON-PRIME STAR*SERVICE FEE
USA $18.00 $6.00 $4.95
Canada C$25.00 C$8.00 $5.95
Star*Services are not available at this time in any other country.
Considering $4.95 is less than the current cost of a month's subscription to
the encyclopedia, we think you'll find the over 100 services offered to be an
exceptional value. Now more than ever, GEnie is the place to stay online
longer for less.
GEnie Star*Services begin on October 1st. If you agree to join the plan, you
will be charged $4.95 on the 1st, and you will be given unlimited access to all
those great services. If you decide not to join, you can access GEnie until
September 30 at standard GEnie connect rates. After October 1, you must join
to continue to access GEnie. GEnie will bill you automatically each month for
$4.95. You may cancel at any time. If you cancel, you must re-signup to
access GEnie.
We are so sure you'll find GEnie Star*Services to your liking, we are offering
a money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with the service
you may cancel during the first month and we will refund your initial $4.95
subscription fee.
If you have any questions, please send a note to FEEDBACK.
October 1st will mark a new era on GEnie. Join us in ushering in an exciting
new age in information services!
