    Question No more phone bills...for life?

     
    For $999, this company will guarantee you never receive another phone bill, regardless of how many calls you make or how long you talk. I'm just wondering how they can be sure they'll be in business in 10 years or that the VoIP technology won't be obsolete. Even their own people aren't sure, it seems.
    "VOIP is a new service, and we're not sure where it's going in the world. We're going to take our time and see how it works out."
    You can't fix stupidity.

    Remember that we can get lifetime of internet access for $99? They didn't last. This one here sounds like a bunch of baloney.

    assuming your screen name reflects the year you were born, your not even old enough to buy beer


    either way VOIP is still developing and dont see this as a legit offer. I could see it going bankrupt fast or some loop hole to get out of the rest of your life

    Warranty and service are only as good as the company behind it. They'll be out of business next year with your money in their pocket. I learned it the hard way. During the waterbed craze 35 years ago, I was one of the first to jump on it. The bed came with some kind of outrageious warranty. Six months later I needed to collect. I went back to the store. They still sold waterbeds...but under a different name. My warranty was no good. I'm not going to tell you what a 20 year old hot head did. It cost them big time!

    It obviously won't be good "for life"... But I'd say that you'd be connected long enough for it to be worthwhile. Assuming that it's a legitimate business that can gain at least a decent number of customers.
