Send us a check. We try to notify people before their accounts expire.
It's rare that we'll turn someone off without notifying them at least twice
that we're about to do it.
What is my account type (also known
as: "How much time and/or disk space am I using," or "When do I
expire?")
You can email bill@teleport.com, which will send all of this information
back to you.
No, not yet. We're hoping to offer that option soon. Right now we take
cash (at our downtown Portland office only--don't mail cash), money orders
and checks. You can pay for one month, 3 months, 6 months or a year at a
time. The price per month is lowest at the 6 months/yearly rate.
Referral credits are a free month of service (at your current level)
given to you when you recommend Teleport to a friend/ relative/ business
collegue who says you are the Teleport Member who recommended them to us.
Credits are given when the new user actually becomes a member of Teleport
(goes beyond the free trial week and sends us a payment).
We will notify you via email when the new user signs up using your name
as referral. We will notify you a second time when they become a member and
the credit is made to your account.
If you're going over your 30 hours per month, it is a mere $7 to upgrade
to "deluxe" which allows you up to 120 hours monthly. IP time is counted any
time you are connected via modem with Trumpet Winsock, MacPPP or another
graphic access program. Telnet time from remote sites to
Teleport does not get counted in your time.
There are two steps involved in upgrading from a dialup to an IP
account. The first is to fill out the form below. Support will process your
request in one to two business days and then send you your IP passwords. At
that point, you will be able to download all of the IP software. The second
step is to send the new amount owed to billing. You can figure your bill by
emailing bill@teleport.com (which is a program, not a person--it doesn't
matter what you say in the letter) and seeing how much time you have left.
If you're only upgrading one step, say from Economy to Regular the difference is $7 monthly.
You'd just send us $7 times the number of months left. So if you have 2
months left of Economy you'd send us $14 to make it Regular. The same is
true for upgrading from Regular to Deluxe,
only you don't need a new IP password.
Extra disk space is $5 per megabyte per year. If you'd like to purchase
additional disk space please mail check or money order with the amount of
disk space you'd like to:
