| New customers only?  I hope the new ETF policy applies only to new customers activating after a future date specified by Lingo. Or on the other hand do they think they can make the new policy retroactive without some legal backlash? |

I wonder how many Lingo customers will cancel before the 23rd? This warning may actually encourage a mass exodus of customers.

| Maybe Lingo is up to something else, like having this a prelude to bankruptcy. If they knew there was going to be a mass exodus anyway, what better way to milk your existing customers.
This is only a hypothesis!

I'd probably change and switch to something else after being treated threatened like that. It's easier said than done, especially if you need to port your #, but I'd really consider leaving if I received a similar e-mail from Vonage.

this could burn them if the contract when someone signed up doesnt have provisions for them to alter the terms like this. you could cancel and refuse to pay the ETF and if they tried to collect and the contract you agreed to at service start has no provisions for them to modify it in this way they would be in breach.

| I wonder if the contract has one of those provisions that allows the carrier to make any change? |
