Vonage made me an offer (I can't refuse)

qworster join:2001-11-25 Bryn Mawr, PA Reviews: ·Comcast ·Verizon FiOS ·MSN	Vonage made me an offer (I can't refuse) I ported my number out to Anveo (went through yesterday) and called Voange to cancel. They offered me a deal: Unlimited USA/Canada/Puerto Rico calling with no virtual number for $9.99 a month ($14.00 with all fees and taxes) This is a permanent rate (no promotions). No committment. My virtual number will become my permanent number. So, I'll be paying 16 dollars a month (Including Anveo) and I'll forward my ported number to Vonage. The only change will be that I lost unlimited international calling (which I didn't use anyway) and my bill drops by 26 dollars a month.

askinder join:2010-07-08 Kansas City, MO	I got this same offer after my third time threatening to cancel and port to another provider. First call the reduced my rate $2, second call they offered 1 month free. The third offer, when I was really ready to port, the offered me the $9.99 unlimited offer. I pay nearly $17 with taxes and fees.

batwater join:2004-09-01 Ballwin, MO	reply to qworster Thanks for your info! I was on the 12.50 plan for a year, auto bumped to 25.99 2 months ago, I missed the increase. I only caught this because there was an issue in my area today getting to Vonage and I went on line to check on things and noticed the billing change. Anyway, with the 9.99 info provided here in hand, I made Vonage an offer they didn't refuse, please refund the up charge and permanently move me to the 9.99 plan as I was not going to make another phone call to negotiate rates with them. I received all 3 requests (my condition for continued patronage of their service) You will need the retention department to accomplish this.

ilikeme I live in a van down by the river. Premium join:2002-08-27 Denton, TX kudos:1	reply to qworster I just called in last night, threatened to cancel unless they could offer me something better and immediately was offered the $9.99 plan. They said it is guaranteed not to change unless I make the change.

DoctorStinky join:2011-11-10 Brunswick, ME Reviews: ·voip.ms	reply to qworster Interesting. I left Vonage in October, only partly due to price. They didn't do a thing to try and keep me, and I had two DIDs through them at a total of close to $70/mo. I'm not feeling the love No chance I'd go back at this point, but it would have been nice to be asked to stay

treichhart join:2006-12-12	reply to qworster This is good forever from what I was told by the rep because this is 4th time to make the changes because I was about ready to drop there a$$es 4 different times because of there high priced crap.

cork1958 Cork Premium join:2000-02-26 1 edit	I would hardly consider Vonage high priced crap compared to a regular land line! My regular Frontier phone used to cost me about $64 a month with absolutely NO long distance calls on it. Even on the World Plan, my Vonage bill was only $35 with taxes and everything! Dang near a 50% savings right there and a bill that isn't 16 pages long explaining absolutely nothing. I'm now on the 750 minute plan which is costing me $25 and some change. About to call Vonage and ask about this though. Did anyone get charged for changing plans like they did me when going from the World Plan to the 750 minute plan? I'm assuming that's a regular thing? -- The Firefox alternative. »www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

batwater join:2004-09-01 Ballwin, MO	reply to treichhart For me it is a permanent change as long as "no changes are made to the current services." I very clearly told the rep that if I had to call back due to rate changes I was through with them as a phone provider.

batwater join:2004-09-01 Ballwin, MO	I was not charged though I was on a 12 month plan deal before this latest round with them. I never have been on the world plan, it is what they tried to bump me up to when my deal "expired."

Thanks I think that the decision to not charge a fee for changing your plan is up to the mood/generosity of the CSR (and/or the phase of the moon). Shortly after I officially retired I downgraded my business line to a residential $9.99 plan (their limited use "lite" plan, not the unlimited use $9.99 plan being discussed in this thread), and I was not charged the penalty fee. However, on previous occasions I have been charged that fee even when adding an additional voice or fax line (to an existing ATA, so no actual expense was incurred by Vonage to justify the plan change fee). -- History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. -- Dwight D.

mahermusic join:2001-07-06 U.S.A. Reviews: ·Vonage ·T-Mobile US ·Comcast	reply to qworster Changed both my lines. Permanently $9.99 with no charge for changing plans. Change also took place immediately... didn't have to wait until the next billing cycle, although my billing date stayed the same. The next day, I was able to change my mother over to this plan as well. Good stuff. -- 1/20/09 = The final day of our Retarded Cowboy President!

qworster join:2001-11-25 Bryn Mawr, PA Reviews: ·Comcast ·Verizon FiOS ·MSN	reply to qworster My change took place on the spot, and was effective immediately. She kept me on hold while she did it in fact. There was no charge to change the plan. She also made my (former) virtual number my primary, as I had already ported it out to Anveo. She told me there was no time requirement - that I could cancel at any time without penalty. I went to Anveo's portal and forwarded my (old) primary number right back to my Vonage. Anveo charged me $20 to port and it costs 2 dollars a month for unlimited forwarding.
