Went to the site today. Besides the Free DID, and Voicemail, they are
setting up accounts with a $5 credit as a free trial. Did not need a CC.

Talked it up overseas

Why does this feel like some kind of scam to me? Maybe it's:

Age of site (10 days)

Mispellings

Essentially no info.

Hawked by a guy from voipmadness (same registrar, same IP, not quite a
month old).

A come-on of "Today Only, the next 20 people...", which of course is
the same thing it said on the 13th according to Google's cache.

Maybe PT Barnum was right, but I guess the real question is "How
stupid do you think we are?"

You might go straight to www.voicestick.com. They are legit and part of a
larger company. Not sure what the frontman site is up to...

I almost missed seeing the $5 credit.

You get a confirmation email from voicestick and in that letter is a long
code number and there is a place in your account panel that will take the
code and you do get your $5

Service works fine, good quality. I have now upgraded to the unlimited
Global plan for $24 a month.

I tried it out, and did not see that come-on. It took me to the site,
and the sign up worked fine. After my sign up, I got an email with an
"Express Code" to be entered in at the site to get my credit. I went to
the site and had no problem entering the code.

Aside from the fact that I got an "Invalid code" message and no credit,
I'm no worse off for it. The strange thing is that the email came from
i2telcom (the voicestick people) and not the front end people, so I
have no idea what's up with that.
