Re: Typical...
said by timeshadow  :That's why I use Lingo, They Market an Unlimited plan that gives you 43,200 minutes per month. That is truly unlimited. I dont understand why people say unlimited and then cap it. Unlimited means unlimited. Period. Even at 43,200 minutes per month, some months have 31 days. Now I'm not saying their limit is unreasonable, but its a limit, and therefore not UNlimited.
5000 minutes per month though...thats a joke. Another case of corporate america dictating what "normal life" means. I set a lady up with VoIP several months ago so she could save on her long distance. She has 6 kids and 19 grandkids she likes to talk to. Add to that any number of other family members and friends (she's old, can't drive, and lives hours from everyone). 5000 minutes per month for her is normal AND within reason, as she is a resident using her residential UNlimited service.

Now I'm not saying their limit is unreasonable, but its a limit, and therefore not UNlimited. Well, a little math gives me 44,640 minutes in a 31 day month. Usually my plan minutes on Lingo list 45,000 minutes. For some reason my minutes used at the moment shows 23,400, and my remaining shows 2,676,600. Methinks the system has a fault.
One thing to remember, as far as I know, there is no accounting software for phone systems that does not bill by the minute. So-called unlimited plans simply set a rate class with an impractical to reach number of minutes with a per-minute charge of zero, which is scrupulously tracked and billed. | |

There are 2,678,400 seconds in a 31 day month. | |

| Hmmm....Well, the numbers work out. I wonder why they changed from minutes to seconds? The calls are still listed in minutes, and even giving the large numbers on the current details page, the page still says minutes rather than seconds. Somebody must have mis-typed a translation formula somewhere. Still, the service continues to work. | |
