Re: Vonage sucks

Ok, so I was a Vonage customer for a few months THREE YEARS AGO and referred some people at that time. I was floored when one of those individuals (a coworker) said, "Are you still using Vonage because I just got a referral email with your name on it." on 6/21/2007.

Vonage should not be using referrals from their former customers (active customers maybe, but certainly not from people who are not using the service)! I certainly WOULD NOT recommend Vonage.

I have been a happy VoicePulse customer since dumping Vonage. In fact, the person who received the Vonage SPAM is also a VP customer!!!

I wonder if one of these referrals should actually sign up if they would send me the $50 AmEx prepaid card that is stated in the SPAM? They still have my current mailing address because I do get junk snail mail asking me to come back.

Obviously Vonage is getting desperate for customers.

But then again, maybe y'all should stop throwing your friends email addy's around without informing THEM first...I agree, this is legit email that you opt'ed your FRIEND get. lol. Rules are rules.

I did inform them THREE YEARS AGO. If Vonage chooses to keep spamming them, that is their perogative. Just don't keep using my name and falsely advertising that I would receive some incentive if they signed up.

Well DUH!!!

Haven't you heard? Vonage (and all other VoIP companies) are fighting for their very existence after Verizon sued Vonage over a couple of dubious patents that it holds. (Things like finding someone's phone number by searching for their e-mail address have been standard functions of PIM software since before Verizon ever existed. How is that patentable?) If Verizon prevails, the Verizon v. Vonage precedent will give all three of the reconstituted RBOCs the legal ability to keep VoIP businesses out of America. And then they can party like it's 1967.

Care to rent a Princess® phone for $15/mo.?

Hold on there, chief. Previously you said that your friend just (as in "only recently") got an e-mail from Vonage. Now you're claiming that Vonage has been spamming them constantly for three years? And you just happened o pick now to start complaining? No dice.

You might want to get your story straight first...
