Thanks to all of you who helped with suggestions and testing for our phone services upgrade.  All of your suggestions helped us develop the easiest-to-use phone service available anywhere.  Our service was good before, but now it truly stands alone and we have a way to thank you for your input that will help us all.

December is upon us and we are expecting new signups to slow until after the holidays while people shift into holiday spending mode and away from thinking about things like utility bills.  That’s where we need your help and  that’s where you can take advantage of the situation.  We need December sales to stay strong so we can get our next round of marketing money three months earlier and get in ahead of the summer sales slump.

To do this, we’re offering our friends, family, and everyone to whom they forward email a "deal of a lifetime" if they jump on the wagon before January 1st.  You can sign up for service at our exact cost with a lifetime price guarantee.  This means that we can save you a lot of money without asking you to downgrade to a “gimmick” service.

For those of you who have not been closely involved, this is not a Vonage-type internet phone service; this is REAL phone service with no tricks.  Our service does use a broadband Internet connection (no computer required with inexpensive converter box), but only to let you access our phone company; we don't send your actual call over the Internet to its destination like others.  Like we said, this is REAL phone service with every feature you’ve ever heard of (including voice mail), some you haven’t (like 6-way calling), free 411, 7-digit dialing within your own area code (which interests people in areas where 10-digit dialing is required even for local calls), real 911 service (which we hope you’ll never need), and 24 hour customer service.

So here’s the deal: Your monthly price for unlimited residential US and Canadian calling will be our cost of $16/month (with taxes that’s $19.64/month) FOR LIFE.  That’s not an introductory offer like the cable company gives, and it’s not a “lowball” offer as seen on TV with lots of extra add-on charges you don’t find out about until after you give them your credit card number.  We hope you’ll be so blown away by the quality and savings (and that you know the people that made it work) that you’ll keep the service forever, but we’ll give you a personal guarantee:  If you don’t think the service is as good as we say, we’ll give you a full refund and an apology.  If you’re interested please call Carrie on her direct line at 865-862-8722 and she will get you into the system.

Happy Holidays!!

PS - Since people have asked a few questions when they call in, we've posted a mini-FAQ here.

PPS - If you know any gadget-lovers, our service also supports video phones and WiFi phones that are like cell phones.  The video phones let you SEE your family members while you talk without having to get a computer, microphone, speakers, and webcam to work.  With the WiFi phones, I regularly make and receive calls on my home phone number while I'm at the mall, my favorite coffee shop, and even Arby's.  Try THAT with your old phone provider!
