How to Get a Grasshopper Free Trial Securely With a Virtual Credit Card

If you have wanted to try a but have been worried about accidentally incurring extra charges, we don't blame you. Sometimes it seems that free trials are purposefully set up to get you hooked into paying for a service that you merely wanted to sample.

If you're worried about signing up and forgetting to cancel Grasshopper in time before your "free trial" ends, you're in luck. With DoNotPay's Get Free Trials and Don't Get Charged feature, you can sign up for free trials without worrying about spending a single penny.

How Does Grasshopper's Free Trial Work?

Let's say you've been considering Grasshopper as a communication tool for your business but want to try it out first. That's smart! Grasshopper currently offers a free 7-day trial of its services. This will allow you to sample what the service has to offer and decide if it's something you want to pay for.

Included in the free trial:

  • 1 phone number
  • 3 extensions
  • 100 Business Talk minutes
  • 100 Business texts

When you sign up for your free Grasshopper trial, you must choose either a toll-free number, a local number, or transfer your current number via number porting.

Although Grasshopper does claim that their free trial involves "no credit card numbers" and "no commitment," they also suggest that you "skip the trial" and buy a package immediately. This sends up some red flags.

If you're concerned you might accidentally click the wrong option, read on.

How Can I Get a Free Trial of Grasshopper?

As with most companies offering free trials, Grasshopper makes it easy for you to sign up.

Registering for a free trial of Grasshopper is as simple as:

  1. Visiting Grasshopper's sign-up page
  2. Choosing the type of phone number you want
  3. Entering personal details
  4. Registering your account

Because 7 days is such a short amount of time to try this product, perhaps not even enough time to get used to how the service works, Grasshopper always gives customers the option of skipping the trial and signing up for the full service directly.

Does the Grasshopper Free Trial Automatically Renew Into a Paid Subscription?

The details here are murky. Grasshopper's Terms of Service (TOS) does not directly address free trials; however, concerning subscription charges, here's what it has to say:

“Unless you notify Grasshopper before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel a service or upgrade, your subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you.”

The best way to avoid getting charged at the end of your free trial, of course, is to make sure you cancel your subscription before Day 7. If you don't, the next thing you know, you'll be out here trying to get a Grasshopper refund.

Fortunately, there's a quick and easy way to try Grasshopper without the risk of getting charged.

Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

Getting a without risking extra charges doesn't have to stress you out. With DoNotPay's Get Free Trials and Don't Get Charged feature, the process absolutely could not be simpler.

Here's how it works:

  1. Open DoNotPay.
  2. Locate the Virtual Credit Card product.
  3. Enter the relevant information.
  4. Allow DoNotPay to generate a free virtual credit card number (along with credit card info) on your behalf.

You can then use your DoNotPay-generated virtual credit card number to sign up for your free 7-day trial of Grasshopper trial (or the trial of any other product or service) without worrying that you'll get charged!

Because there's no bank account associated with that card, at the end of the trial period, you will simply be dropped from the service and automatically unsubscribed.

It really is that easy.
