| Hooked on Vonics; Joiphone Joy; Lingo Bingo
So speaking of ghosts and goblins, how are people doing these days with Vonics, Joiphone, and Lingo?
Vonics is at the bottom of the current GBU list (and its website is often down lately). The others have dropped off the list.
Our Halloween question: Has your provider left you hanging? |

I can't speak for their customers, but as a provider we did get a whole bunch of Vonics ports lately. Lingo ports come in from time to time but haven't noticed a mass exodus. Joiphone haven't seen any ports in a while.

| I have not replaced my Vonics line yet. I have a future nine phone line that I am going to find out how much it will cost me to change the phone number to a local number The reason I bought the line didn't pan out. So, if I can get the number changed I will give the line to the kids to use. |

Hmmm! Possibly a polite PM to nitzan with the specifics of your request --- current F9 phone number and desired new rate center --- would yield success. You might want to submit a TroubleTicket on the F9 website, and then reference that TT number in your PM. |

Lingo here since 2005, still going strong. Excellent quality, very low % down time, 0.5% if that much. |

How are Vonics users doing?

Is the service working? |

| Vonics is out of business. Their service has been down for weeks now. I guess they finally took down the website too...
On the upside- we've had no trouble at all porting numbers out of Vonics so far.

Nitzan is too tactful to mention it, but Future-Nine's website has a porting discount offer for Vonics refugees.

I'm still trying to figure out why F9 has advertisements on the right side of their web page. I just went there to check the discount you mentioned and a banner advertisement for Vonage is shown below the Google text ad's.
I kind of find it funny that they have ad's on their website in general (since they're a paid service provider); and even more amusing that one of their "competitors" ad's is shown!  |

You are right, but I guess that way they save a few bucks. So they can offer good prices.
And this is what Google's ad program (and similar ones) are all about. Placing ads in your competitor's face.
It's more effective for a Vonage ad to be shown on the site of a Voip competitor, than for that Vonage ad to be shown on, say, a site for golf carts.
Similarly, the website of CallWithUs also shows ads from competitors:
»www.callwithus.com/
I guess that Nitzan of Future-Nine and Sergey of CallWithUs are confident in their products, so are not worried about competitors' ads.
Just as President-Elect Obama is not afraid to bring competitors onto his team. |

A happy customer is one who has informed him/herself in advance about product options/features/pricing of the competition. |
