Ok i got this sim (0.99) and set it up (0.99 to activate) and went straight to the basic plan with no upgrades.
One item to note is that the auto top up is now not removable. Instead to remove it you have to add a safety mode service plan for $6.99/month.

Seems like this has been the case for a awhile.
This basically confirms the best protection measure is a prepaid cc or some other paypal prevention mechanism etc.
EDIT: There is a still a way to turn it off - see http://www.cranialborborygmus.com/freed ... ummies.htm (autotop up section)
You basically have to signup for the safety mode service plan, disable auto-top up and then cancel the plan.
If you wait till late in your billing cycle to do this, it can be pretty cheap (the 6.99 plan is pro-rated to your billing cycle).
