Hey ma ya can't call me anymore!!!

Dude that would really suck! Imagine if you had your number ported to them? What a fn nightmare it could be to get it over to someone else in a hurry. Not to mention the money you would loose if you were using it for your business. Well, it was bound to happen with all the fly-by-nights out on the net. No offense to anyone but if you went with them it was mostly you own fault by being so naive!

1) Unprofessional website
2) Ridiculous verb usage ("world headquarters" and "government sales" -- just plain STUPID)
3) Rates too low to make a profit (1.3 cents for toll-free, are you kidding me?)
4) Been shut off before by previous providers
5) Obvious lemonade stand business

"Moral" if it sounds to good to be true it probably is

Welllll...Maybe it's just me, but I never have understood just WHY I should bother with VOIP, especially when it costs the same-if not more-as plain old POTS service. And, once the government starts with their usual taxes and fees.

I suppose some people will go for any ripoff, pie in the sky techie stuff, as long as it is "bleeding edge".

It actually costs less than a pots line. I was paying the bell 75$ for a basic line with no LD and Caller ID, along with DSL Lite (256K/128K) a month. Plus my per minute fees for long distance

Now I'm paying $70 a month for a fully featured phone...unlimited long distance, and 6MB/768K internet.

With the promotion I'm on I'm paying 20$ for the next 6 months for internet, My 1st month is free for internet, and I get a free month of phone service for each person I refer...which is 3 so far.

So long run - Bellsouth = 900 year.
Comcast/Lingo = 600 year (including promotion and referrals)

$300 in savings...or $25 a month.

It may not seem like a big savings, but then look at the feature set. Unlimited long distance...every feature available...and the best internet speed available...at a lower cost than what I was paying the Bell.
