nizo's Journal: Vonage, you suck

Before you sign up for vonage, take a look at this fine print: $39.99 disconnect fee if you disconnect your service within two years of signing up.

This is why I liked Cricket in the past (I dunno, maybe they have an absurd disconnect fee now too??). If they let me go month to month and leave any time I want, then it is up to them to keep me as a customer, so I expect (and got) better service then from a company that had me locked up in a two year contract, who could screw me at will since I wouldn't leave because of the contract. Now that I have a work cell I don't care, but if I ever do end up going back to paying for my cell, it will be with someone
