$500.00 was in fact pre-payment towards a month's worth of
services. Are there forums for discussing and rating the
reputation of VoIP service providers? Wouldn't be too difficult
to put together.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/2/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Storm D. J.

I ½ agree with you. I think it's important to expose bad business on here.<br>Prevent other people from getting burned from unscrupulous providers. I<br>think it might have been better if you didn't make the message as personal
<br>as you did though. I would of described the situation and the company.<br>That's just my 2 cents. I'm sure their will be many people who have voip<br>services or own voip providers on this list who fear the public exposure
<br>that we can give and will moan about it.<br><br>Good luck with your problem.<br><br>S.<br>________________________________________<br>From: <a href="mailto:asterisk-biz-bounces@lists.digium.com">asterisk-biz-bounces@lists.digium.com
