Vonage Discount

Monday, April 12th, 2010

I have been having so much trouble with Vonage’s billing lately, it’s frustrating. They charged me $520 for a year without any notice, so I contacted them telling them I wanted to downgrade because it costs too much and I don’t use it that much. I use Vonage for business/support, but being an online business very little is done on the phone. So I got downgraded, but they weren’t sending my money back, so I had to dispute it through my credit card to get the refund. This month, they charged me $42, which would come to $500 yearly and I wasn’t saving any money. I had finally decided I was switching to Magic Jack and called to cancel.

When I called to cancel, the guy offered me a new ‘promotion’ they’ve started that has their unlimited calling plan for only $12.50/mo. This is the type of savings I was looking for, so I switched and I’m pretty happy about that. It still comes to about $180/yr (and Magic Jack is $40/yr) but it’s reliable and I won’t have to change my number.

Just a quick post to let all of you out there who have Vonage know about this promotion so you can call and attempt to get it. You may need to ask to cancel to get it offered to you. And if you’re using a regular landline, but have been thinking about Vonage, let me know and I’ll send you a link that will give you and me a free month if you sign up.

Something You Maybe Didn’t Know

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

This is just a quick post to explain some things you probably didn’t know about me, and why this site appears to be abandoned (though I assure you it hasn’t been, I’m keeping Wordpress upgraded!).

In December or so I realized there was something not right and in January I finally made a doctor’s appointment. At the end of the month I found out it was a tumor in my ovary and had it removed. That surgery was probably the worst experience in my life, and I wish it on no one. It changed my life in a few different ways, but mostly negative. I’m not fully healed yet, but I’m to the point where I feel pretty normal most of the time. I’m getting back into design work and other things I used to enjoy.

If you happen upon this site, please leave me a comment and let me know you were here. And I’m looking to get back into the swing of things, so I’m offering some incredibly low priced and/or bartering services. If someone wants to trade me advertising on their site for some web design and coding, send me a quick message. Not all the pages are up yet because I got sick in the middle of creating the site, but the contact form should be ready. If you want examples of my work and they’re not up on the site yet, just let me know.

I currently only have one design client I’m working with because of my hiatus in the online world, so I have time for some projects. Just let me know if you need me.
