Did they inform you they would never charge? Facebook-style: "It’s free and always will be"? Or did
you assume "free for life"?

You change your physical address (and/or name), which aren't exactly portable, and then go through all the necessary motions of informing all who should know. It's not exactly fun, but not a hostage situation either. People do change email addresses and survive.
