<description><![CDATA[chindit2 posted : Teleblend should be ashamed of themselves!! I have been a sunrocket, now Teleblend customers from the start. Now as a reward for loyalty they are offering $99.99/yr for new customers, but if you are a loyal customer they add all kind of charges that run the cost up to $195/year, which is the same cost as the $15.99 cost. Thanks guys!!!!<br><br>Loyal customer no longer<br> :(]]></description>

The promotional offers are only available to new customers. If you have been with them for 12 months or 24 months, they may extend the offer to you, but the offers are for new customers. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : Scammers! Stay Away!<br><br>During past couple of months there customer service number was unreachable and if you called to cancel, tough luck. If you email/chat they will tell you "must call to cancel". Then they will charge your card. When you dispute, they will tell the card company that customer did not cancel in time. No way to get your money back. They don't want to do fair business. Trying to cheat people of their hard earned money. I called them and I got through to them today and they were like "tough luck... read the terms and conditions, must cancel before we charge you, even if the service was already ported to some other provider and we did not give you any service for what we charged you, just because.... we charged you already!". Disgusting!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[crazyk4952 posted : Yes, I agree it is their choice if they want to charge an activation fee or not.<br><br>However, I do not think that it is clearly stated. When looking at their site, I saw no mention of an activation fee (or any other fees) until I clicked the "sign up" button.<br><br>Also, the amount of this "activation" fee changes based on the plan that you choose. If you choose the <i>monthly</i> plan, then the fee (if you BYOD) is $5.95.

<description><![CDATA[TBSupport1 posted : Who says that Vonage, Viatalk, F9, callcentric, voipo, etc, etc, etc won't change their TOS tomorrow to something else?  That's the same question you are asking.  Unfortunately, I can tell you that we have no intention of adding that fee back for this product plan.   And yes I did say for our previous annual plan we had an ETF.   When we moved to our new annual plan we removed that ETF fee.   It was left in the TOS by accident and we are in the process of removing it. <br><br>There is a cost to provide services, activate new services, and get a customer setup.   That is why we charge a fee for it.  It is a one time activation fee and every year going forward you would not pay that fee. ]]></description>

Who's to say your TOS won't change tomorrow to something else?<br><br>And please explain why people must pay $40 as an activation fee when they already have their own device??

<description><![CDATA[TBSupport1 posted : While you say that there are several providers that don't charge termination and activation fees, there are plenty of providers both large and small that do. Teleblend does not charge an Early termination fee for service. We did charge one at one time, but have since decided to move away from that. We don't have people locked into a contract either, but other companies have 1 year or even 2 year contracts. <br><br>That's the advantage of having an open market place. This allows people to have a choice to choose other services that they think will better serve them. ]]></description>

Look at Vonage's latest press release about their new plan.  At no point in the release did they state that it includes an activation fee, contract, termination fee, any device fees, etc.  So, please don't try to point blame at Teleblend when there is nothing going on.</div>Since you're so intent on comparing TB to Vonage, take a look at how Vonage actually advertises prices on their web site.  Next to each plan's listed price is a <b>superscript mark</b> ("&#134;").  At at the bottom of the web-page it inlcudes a footnote (identified by that superscript mark) which says:<br>   <blockquote><small>quote:</small><hr>&#134; RATES EXCLUDE BROADBAND SERVICE. <b>TAXES AND OTHER FEES APPLY. A DISCONNECTION FEE OF $39.99 WILL APPLY FOR CANCELLATION BEFORE 1 YEAR. IF YOU CANCEL WITHIN THE MONEY BACK GURANTEE PERIOD, YOU MUST RETURN THE DEVICE. IF YOU CANCEL AFTER THE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE PERIOD AND WITHIN 1 YEAR OF YOUR ORDER DATE, YOU WILL BE CHARGED A REBATE RECOVERY FEE EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE REBATE INITIALLY GIVEN TO YOU FOR THE EQUIPMENT. &#135;</b> Based on 1/09 survey of competing landline service providers. &curren; Where available. The number transfer process takes approximately 10 business days from the time you confirm your transfer request. Alarms, TTY and other systems may not be compatible. Vonage 911 service operates differently than traditional 911. See www.vonage.com/911 for details. &copy; 2009 Vonage Marketing LLC. All Rights Reserved.<hr></blockquote><br><br>The <b>boldfaced</b> blob above speaks VOLUMES!  It lets  consumers know that there will be other costs associated with Vonage service, that they will be subjected to ETF's, etc.   While consumers may not care for such additional charges and conditions, at least they're aware of the existence of those BEFORE THEY PROCEED TO SIGN UP FOR SERVICE! With TB, the ~$40 activation fee doesn't get shown until actually clicking on the link to SIGN UP.  That is a form of "bait and switch" as you've advertised one price before placing an order, then increase that price 40% - 50% (via [a] previously undisclosed fee[s]) during the order process. Thus, it's a scam! :uhh:<br><br><div class="bquote"><small>said by <a href="/profile/1486043" onClick="this.blur(); return popup(event,'/uidpop?ajh=1&uid=1486043');">TBSupport1</a>:</small><br><br>Just like other companies, we are offering new service plans in response to the changing market conditions.

It's deceptive, it's dishonest, and your continued denial of any wrongdoing using these blatantly shady tactics shows potential customers exactly what type of company they can expect to deal with should they sign up for TB service.<br><br><div class="bquote"><small>said by <a href="/profile/1486043" onClick="this.blur(); return popup(event,'/uidpop?ajh=1&uid=1486043');">TBSupport1</a>:</small><br><br>You may want to go check the history on all the VOIP providers about your "slammed" comment.  A number being slammed only occurs when it is done on purpose and obviously it was not done on purpose as it was resolved very quickly.</div>Really? My number was not slammed ON PURPOSE?  It was resolved VERY QUICKLY? When I called your CLEC to complain about my # being slammed, they requested I call you (TB) which I did.  TB denied to me slamming my number, denied to their carrier that the slamming of my number was unauthorized, and as a result caused my port away from TB (back to my real carrier) to take the full LNP cycle of almost 30 days.  Had TB advised their carrier that the port to TB was a mistake, I could have had my number back in as little as 24 hours (after reporting the incident)! Please don't, for one minute, pretend that my slammed number situation was "not done on purpose" which  <br>"was resolved very quickly."  To this day TB has taken no responsibility for that incident, has never apologized for it, and has never previously indicated it was a mistake.  Telling your carrier (i.e. your CLEC) the port to TB was authorized says it all.  :mad:<br><br><div class="bquote"><small>said by <a href="/profile/1486043" onClick="this.blur(); return popup(event,'/uidpop?ajh=1&uid=1486043');">TBSupport1</a>:</small><br><br>Please use <b>EXTREME CAUTION</b> when reading posts that are only negative about companies.  There are usually more people that will complain instead of actually compliment. <br> </div>When other VoIP providers are accused of bad behavior (rightly or wrongly), satisfied customers of theirs tend to stick up for them (at least that's been my experience here @ BBR). <br><br>Example: A few years ago I posted a negative experience I had w/ VoicePulse here @ BBR, where I backed up my experience with facts (just like I've done w/ my posts about TB).  That thread is here:<br>&raquo;<A HREF="/forum/remark,13451864">SUNROCKET can't be profitable at $16.58 per month</A><br><br>Where my post starts on page 4:<br>&raquo;<A HREF="/forum/remark,13451864~start=60">SUNROCKET can't be profitable at $16.58 per month</A><br><br>With the post itself below (for reference purposes only, read starting @ page 4 above):<br>&raquo;<A HREF="/forum/remark,14157778">Re: SUNROCKET can't be profitable at $16.58 per month</A><br><br>If you read the above, you'll see that <b>numerous people</b> responded about their favorable view of VoicePulse.  Nobody jumped all over me for posting negative information (since my comments were factually accurate), but the numerous other positive posts allowed potential customers to have a balanced view of VP.<br><br>So far there hasn't been much (any?) sticking up for TB, perhaps because of the arrogance with which your company continues to operate.  You try and justify bad behavior (i.e. advertising one price then charging a 40% - 50% more via undisclosed fees) based on alleged similar bad behavior elsewhere.  News flash... bad behavior at one company does NOT excuse it at another.  If your competition is acting irresponsibly, let the chips fall where they may for them.  Perhaps you should consider doing something novel by taking the high road, acting differently, operating <b>openly and honestly</b>.  The shady way your company continues to operate reinforces its already piss poor image here @ BBR.<br><br><b>EDIT:</b> Note to mods: I was stunned when the quote I listed from former President George W. Bush (speaking about then FEMA director Michael Brown during the Katrina aftermath) was construed as "flaming."  So be it (i.e. I won't re-post the quote).  :hmm:]]></description>
