We are now into our fifth month of being live with Radius (launched June 1st) and have decided to change our minds, we can do that, we own this beast. As of today, a credit card is not required to create a 30 Free Trial Radius Account…No huge news, the AP Wire didn’t pick it up and maybe the spammers on this blog will help, but we feel that is just time to switch over. Our initial thought process was that since the 30 Day Free Trials is Free and on the 31st day your C/C is charged, actually made for a better user experience with no disrupted service. Now new accounts can jump right in without the fear of having to drop in their credit card information, they’ll just need to update it by the 30th day to prevent account disruption since on the 31st day the account is locked without a credit card or the card is charged.

There was a number of agents whom asked about why it was needed and chose not to create an account, while there was plenty whom were not concerned about it at all. Our expectation are that with less requirements we should see more account creations when we compare with and without. Be on the look out for a blog post in March 2011 as that will be the same five month time span. Or maybe in a few weeks we’ll say it opened the flood gates.
