The response was: "Your registration was successfully proccessed. We send you an email with the necessary information to use and manage your free number." Interesting spelling of "proccessed", and what about the missing adverb "We [will] send ..." So my suspicions are arounsed as to whether this really is a kosher service. Certainly not one to entrust a credit card with. And since they are harvesting 'live' Skype ids with associated email addresses I suppose that we'll get increased amounts of spam. Already I get almost daily spam messages on Skype - even though I block the sender of every one received. CJB.

If you can please promote this service among your friends and within blogs, twitters or any way you believe it could help some other people. Thank you in advance on behalf of people like you that will do good use of this service." Their FAQ is equally obscure. So HOW do they make money? CJB. |
