He's thinking like a telco I guess. I believe AT&T didn't like answering machines when people started hooking them up either...

Point is that its unfair business practice. Personally, I use wholesale VOIP services for myself and business. I was trying to set something up cheap for my mom - separate from me. It seemed like a good deal. I am voicing my protest against businesses who think they can discriminate against asterisk users. I am sure many agree with me. Making snotty comments about the fact I'm setting something up for my mother is a little immature of you and it's a childish attempt to try to distract from a real issue. Asterisk discrimination. Also the issue is not about UNLIMITED minutes. It is about a form of false or misleading advertising.

Mommy, they aren't letting me play with them! Its not [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's your problem? Are terms of service unclear on the website? It's not like they have a monopoly on VoIP service - go buy from someone else. You want unlimited 10$/month service so you can terminate 100k minutes/month? Give me a break. You want to pay per minute? Then use broadvoice connect or similar service. What is with the people who try to find cheapest service and then complain it isn't up to their expectations... -alex _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
