Re: Wow, what a piece of trash!

Let me take one more try at trying to explain my point of view:

First of all I think annex1982 was grievously misled, and I am in no way trying to defend RocketVoIP's case.

However, take the general case of a company that sells unlimited residential service in which the ToS state the service is not to be used for business functions.

That company should have the right to enforce the ToS.

One reasonable way to differentiate residential from business service might be to compare the amount and length of calls made by the average residential customer and those of an average business customer.

If the usage of a residential customer is looking like the statistical model of an average business customer, a reasonable conclusion would be that the service is being used for business purposes and therefore is in violation of the ToS.

The word unlimited is clearly a marketing ploy as we have recognized at least some natural limitations (even though in an earlier post I did mention you could actually have usage greater than the amount of minutes in a month). It is reasonable then to try to define what is meant by the word... I was merely trying to define the limits of "unlimited" in context. If consumers expect unlimited to mean equal to the amount of minutes in a month then so be it. We would have then found the true definition in context. I was making no suggestions as to what reasonable limits should be, only that they would have to exist.

btw, RadioDoc, your post was well said.

Agreed, but this discussion is not about whether or not company "X" can or cannot enforce their TOS. It is about a TOS that has conflicting terms in regards to what is advertised or conveyed to the consumer.

I do believe that consumers(you and I included) expects the unlimited amount of minutes within any given time period to be the actual number of minutes in the given period!
