[asterisk-biz] Paris DID, 15 Cents Per Month Per Number

[Mark]

This was their story previously, and I quote here directly below. I 
think their policy seems to be whatever they feel at the moment. They 
have made no such formal announcement to their customers at this time, 
as I have checked. This mail they previously sent to me on that very topic.


"

DIDX is NOT charging any membership fee at this time, till 1st of Jan 2006. 

Even after 2006 if you offer 20 did's on didx for sale, the membership fee gets waived automatically.

This is till date our plan for the membership fee, and we may extend the free membership even after 1 Jan 2006.

Invoices were generated today for the membership fee, and then credited back to you.

This was done so we can test our billing systems.

Please do not be alarmed by them.

All this is already mentioned in our terms of service, main page, signup page, and on the faq page.

Just the tip of the iceburg with this slippery operator that is now 
threating legal action against me for my poste here.
I will say that my posts have been completely truthful, and for anyone 
wanting a rfeview of the issues with using DIDx, I am quoting them below


1) Myself and others feel that your advertising tactics are less than 
honorable.

2) I am NOT the only one that has had bad experiences with DIDx.

3) I have been approached by DIDx people as if they want to buy DIDs, 
when in reality they want me to list them on DIDx.  I do not feel this 
is an honorable business practice. It is perhaps better that they 
suggest DIDx from the start rather than Interrogating me to find out 
what I have then suggesting DIDx.

4) After receiving an email from a person telling me that DIDx can not 
afford Tech support when all they earn is one dollar per DID, that was 
the straw that really broke the camel´s back. I had been issued a non 
working DID, that clearly had a Quest recording saying it was 
DISCONNECTED. It was not a valid DID, it was really not even a real 
support issue. It was NOT workoing, and there was no recovering that DID.

5) DIDx decided to close my DIDx account UNILATERALLY. They asked me if 
I wanted it closed I DID NOT SAY YES, in fact I said ¨do as you want to 
with it¨

6) Goes back to number 4 and beyond, as there is no protection for the 
buyer. Had I bought that DID a month before it would have probably 
disappeared the following month. Secondly if that seller dropped out of 
DIDx , or like me had their account cut off, I would lose that DID. 
Apparently Rehan has suggested that the solutionn to this is to port 
DIDs. That is one of the most ridiculous solutions I have head to date! 
First., If I had the ability to port DIDs, I would not buy from DIDx in 
the first place! Secondly ONLY North American (and some European) DIDs 
are portable. Porting does not apply to ALL International DIDs.

7) As of today, Linda Bowen has threatened Legal action , even thouhg I 
spoke with Linda Goldsmith last night who just wanted to "chat" and no 
there was no legal action pending. I have stated nothinbg here that is 
not factual. This includes catching them in their most recent 
representations that Free DIDs With no strings attached. They arte now 
trying to cover this most recent blatent misreporesentation by 
eliminting ther membership fee. They will not scare me with their 
bnullying tactics.
