[briman1970]

Tried many different registrars from their list and not one said free anywhere. Also, most of the sites don't offer English pages so they're kind of hard to navigate. If anyone has any luck with this, please let us know.

 

[mis_chiff]

this is what I found under the free partners.
but nothing in english but under the partner name it
says IDN campaign

http://www.at-partner.at/index.php/...tc8q2del9jrg44l5&/1/&target=targetidncampaign

not sure if it is the free one but the links took me there

 

[piet]

i am trying to get one free, no luck they still say charge

 

[Charley]

It doesnt work at all ... Seems that offer doesnt exist .....

 

[VURG]

I've asked a registrar about it and they didn't know what I was talking about.

 

[piet]

here the same just reged one and they charged me????

i have send a few emails when i have a good answer i will get back

 

[domainstosell]

What did you reg?

 

[-db-]

That original site isn't supposed to offer free domains. It's just the source of the information.

You can search a list of registarars offering this at at-partner.at.

If you visit the site, you will find this page...

http://www.at-partner.at/index.php/...srp7u4asdjjonsqeievhi42c72&/1/&context=random

There you will see a list of registrar partners. I clicked a couple in the 'random' search and saw promotions going at the registrars, but it was not in English, so I can't verify anything.

 

[piet]

if you have any trouble reading the text use translate.

but this is what in the ad

[piet]

i have send a lot of emails to all listed company's.

not any luck so far, but when i have one who will reg 1 for free i will post the link here

Update:

I just received an email from emerion.com about them offering free .at Umlaut Domain Names. This is an English speaking registrar. More information here. :tu:

Good luck!

[bbalegere]

Were you able to register a .at domain free of cost.
I am still not able to get a free one.They always bill you at the end.

 

[Charley]

They dont bill you cos the net amount is 0 .... They require a Credit Card ..... Thats the catch ....

 

[bbalegere]

Oh!
I don't have a credit card.
Looks like the offer is very limited.

 

[Charley]

Yea , they dont accept it without a credit card, cos they need to verigy the account.

 

[diddie]

it says: the debited amount will be added to your account balance

 

[Charley]

Diddie, all it showed for me was $0.00 .. How did that happen ?

 

[diddie]

i dont know, it shows me 19,20€ , i will retry today

 

[Charley]

You need to check the bottom screen, it shows 0.00 beside them ..

 

[diddie]

keeps saying that:

*) .at IDN (Umlaut) Domain Promotion: For new registered .at Umlaut Domains the domain name fee for the first year is not billed. The annual domain name fee for the first year will be credited on your invoice.

i ll add a screenshot later, where you input your domain name ? and do you write it with the "xn--" stuff or already with international caracters ?

 

[Charley]

I am ignoring this registrar .... I dont want to key my credit card and then later after a year they automatically charge from the credit card or whatever.

Really unsafe while registering with annonymous registrars like this.

 

[Coopey]

Emerion have taken all of my details, but no domain yet.

Given up on this offer now...

 

[JAugusto]

Me also. Have tried a lot of registrars. None seem to work for one reason or the other...Damn. Ne1 got lucky?

 

[Charley]

Me also. Have tried a lot of registrars. None seem to work for one reason or the other...Damn. Ne1 got lucky?

I suggest foregoing this ... Its not safe to register FREE domains giving out credit card number ....
