Re: [BroadVoice] BroadVoice SCAM Unlimited phone c Pretty much all VOIP providers do have limits on "unlimited" calling, especially to international numbers since they cost so much more than US/CN calling. I've seen complaints about P8 and others also capping "unlimited" calling by home users so your complaint isn't just concerning BV but seems to be a VOIP general problem.
Ignoring the VOIP providers looking for "commercial" use of a VOIP service, I'd say 4,000 minutes is a reasonable number for them to expect a high user to use. My 3 teens and I have used around 4,000 minutes/month for local calling and some long distance calling to US numbers. Usually, it's under 2,000 but it can be over 4,000 sometimes. I also don't like the use of the word "unlimited" but they do usually have an asterisk with some fine print mentioning average home usage as being their definition of unlimited. International calling is expensive and expecting them to offer unlimited minutes is ridiculous although they shouldn't advertise it either, in my opinion.
Also the OP's original assertions of BV having financial problems is bogus. They are owned by a large parent corp and are not "running out of money" as he claims. Also, the OP's quotes of BV's emails to him using words like "scheme" do not ring true. US companies never use the word scheme. British companies do but it has a different meaning for them. These types of problems with the OPs post makes his argument less acceptable to me since I know BV has no financial problems and is very, very unlikely to use the word scheme in any email message to customers. How many other mistakes are in his posts? However, his basic argument about unlimited calls not being unlimited is a sound argument but isn't limited to just BV. |
