A free psychic reading is usually offered to confirm the psychic's ability to connect with the person interested in receiving the reading. Psychics often offer a free reading to prove their ability before the inquirer actually has to pay for the reading. It is important to consider that many psychics offer readings full time and are reliant on the income they receive for their readings to pay their living expenses.

Some psychics do not charge for readings at all. Most of these free psychics usually have a full time job or are a stay at home spouse. They are usually referred to as psychic hobbyists. Someone who offers absolutely free psychic readings usually has alternative income and can afford to not charge for their readings. Some feel that psychics who offer their services full time are more polished during their readings due to the large amount of readings they perform each day. Whether you receive a free psychic reading or pay for a psychic reading, you should always keep in mind that anyone receiving a reading has free will and should never allow a psychic to overpower their own sound judgment.

Before contacting a psychic for a free reading, you should make sure there are not any hidden fees associated with the reading. For instance, when a psychic advertises that they offer free psychic readings but require you to pay for minutes before the reading and the free minutes will be added to your account after the initial reading. Another example is when a psychic offers a free reading to new members of their service providers. Many psychics use a commercial service to handle their billing. You should be aware of the fact that even though they offer free minutes to start, you will usually have to purchase minutes if you wish to continue the psychic reading.

Always do your homework if you are looking for a free psychic reading. Make sure you know if there are any hidden fees or how much it will cost if you want to continue the psychic reading after the free minutes have ended. By being prepared, you can have a lot of fun and potentially receive the help you are looking for from the free reading.
