there are a lot of sites that you have to pay to have access to, but I have never heard of one charging extra on your internet bill- these sites and your internet provider work completely independently of each other.
You would go to a website, pay a fee using your credit card or bank card and then you would be given an id and passcode in order to access the site- this happens once you have already paid.
Some sites will give you a free trial- most of these still require you to enter your credit card info before you are given access to their free trial- I guess this is so they know that you are serious about considering membership and you are not just messing around on their site for freebies

Yes, it's very common, and it's called cramming. It occurs when extra charges are crammed onto your phone bill, sometimes for services you received, and other times for services that you did not receive. Sometimes a company will charge a one time entertainment fee, which will be on one bill, and you will never see it again. Other times, a recurring charge will show up every month. The most common types of recurring charges due to visiting Internet Web sites occur from:
Psychic clubs
Personal clubs (dating sites and so forth)
Travel clubs
Calling card services
Pornographic Web sites
Gambling Web sites
Internet Gaming or Betting Web sites
Some phony contest Web sites
Adult Entertainment
The list goes on and on, but those are some of the most common ones.
The best thing to do, is if you click on a web site that has a disclaimer that pops up, make sure you read the terms of the disclaimer carefully and don't just "click past it". Also, check your phone bill, line by line carefully, and make sure you know what every charge on it is for. Even if it's a long distance call, try and recall who you placed the call to.
Most of the time, if you just use the Internet for what it was intended for, and visit only legitimate Web sites, you will avoid such charges.

Sex sites.
Gamble sites.
Sites mentioned in spam.
But, you'll have to use old type phone modem (very slow internet) for automatic phone bills (those sites install dialers), or you would have to fill in your creditcard number when using a site.
