if you go to that web site it installs a virus on your machine. Well my V-Checker said it tried to and blocked it.

At of late 2004, my latest VSP search indicates that Packet8.Com offers price-competitive service. Howerver, contract appears to be an unholy union of the cell carriers, PapPal and the brokerages.

The only recourse you'll have aginst them is nursing a grudge, potentially a very expensive one.

Still, they're less aggressive than my other contender, Vonage.
