If I just want a membership for a month to try it out, how much will I spend, all said n done? I'm hearing 20$ for the month and 40$ maintenance fee, is this true ?

No. You have a startup fee and yearly fee. For example for 12 months it's $199 prepaid. 12 x $10 =120 so $80 is the startup + yearly fee. I believe the way they swindle you is by charging you $40 for the maintenence fee up front on day one. Then at the end of your first 30 days they charge you the yearly fee so in total the first month is $90.

What happened to 10dollers down and 10a month
