Re: [Other] NuFone problem! Need another carrier ASAP!

said by informpage See Profile :

Just out of curiosity, can someone explain why anyone would be with this company?
Nufone was offering what some subscriber wanted and in a price range that made it acceptable to them.
There is always a risk when buying from a reseller.

stupidity? stubbornness?
No need to be so hard on yourself. There are now many quality voip providers to switch to.

I think it was just a joke... After all, none of us are Nufone customers any more!

ah, caffeine deficiency, i guess. i somehow do doubt "jer-jer" has too many customers left (after being off the air for a week now? or is it more?)

And the customers he does keep, are probably not going to "depend upon" his service, or keep large balances in their accounts. As such, he will probably be keeping "the small fry", after chasing off "the big boys" (that can't afford to have Nufone's level of uncertainty in their phone service). To put it mildly, any "trust" in his business is shot at this point.

I personally will probably "wait it out", because his service USED TO do what I wanted (mostly toll free incoming, at a fair price). And if his "status report" is accurate, those of us who didn't "port our numbers" already, may actually get back our DIDs in the next week or so.

But even if he pulls his business "back from the brink", I will not "depend upon" him for anything that is "mission critical" (i.e. only use him as a cheap provider, for those things I can afford "down time" with). And I'll also make sure I keep low "balances" in my account at all times (so that if he does just quit service, I won't lose a lot of money). And I suspect that many other Nufone customers will come to the same conclusion. So while he might retain some "bargain hunter" customers (assuming he actually comes back on line in the next week or two, like he is currently promising), he probably has already lost "the big accounts" that can't afford such "uncertainty" in their service.
