I think I am immune to stickies. :D I just ignore them.

Why was this posted so much later than the post on the main page??? :wacko: :angry:

Does RFD consider the people at the deals page superior to the forum people? <_< With all their swearing and whatnot. :ph34r:

It was posted later because in an ideal world, everyone would visit the deals page first, THEN the forums :)

Of course not!

The deals page is too slow! And the people out there are mean and ugly!

Scary! :ph34r:

Much more civilised here. :rolleyes:

My home page is the Deals page in the Forum. :) It's like a news ticker. :D

And I don't read stickies either. :D


How do you plan on changing it so we visit the deals page more often? :rolleyes:

Do you have a fido phone? I couldnt use the G3telecom service because of my fido phone. :(

Free minutes are always good but for a rural Alberta user with a Rogers Pay as You Go cell phone the G3telecom rates are better - 6.9 cents/ minute as compared to 9.5 for Xpresscall.

That's what I am thinking. That's why I don't even check the deals page.

There are deals that get posted on the deals page that get posted to the deals page first and also deals that never make it to the forums.

Why??? :(

Can't you post it here again? Isn't it easier? :rolleyes: And you don't have to be criticised by everybody who changes names whenever they get dinged.

And especially all those mrken imitators! :angry: 1st timer, I know it's you! How can somebody know me if they don't know the forums???

I am also mad that you put "hidden" deals in your newsletter. What's wrong with putting them here? :rolleyes: Isn't the e-mail address that you collect during forum registration enough? :rolleyes:

I guess the forum is the best way to get involved and get exposure and the best deals. :D

The deals page is too slow for this fast-moving world of deal hunting.

The e-mail newsletter deals are either not a "deal" or it's already dead.

Unless postcounts are implemented everywhere. :rolleyes: :lol:

I signed up for this, and didn't buy additional minutes, and they offered me 60 more free minutes if I emailed 10 of my friends...pretty good!

I called their 1-866-xxx-xxxx number as advertised on their website, but they refuse to give me a pin#. They told me it's only for paid minutes. So no free calling from public payphones.

Well, I've used it quite a bit and their quality is normal if you ask me. They use landlines so I haven't had any quality issues so far.

Well, when I have been using it, people on the other end have been complaining of echo's, distortion have just generally have a hard time hearing me.

Has anyone used this yet, cause I just received the email to get my additional emails and it has 1.80 charge on my account.

That's not a charge, that's a credit. $1.80 credit /4.5 per minute = 40 minutes. When you refer through RFD you get another 40 minutes.

Service is great for me.

Just to let everyone know, once you use up your 80 mins, they offer you another 60 mins of LD if you spam 10 people though e-mail, and add them as #11 so they know you spammed 10 people.

i used to ONLY check the deals page... now I only go to the forums since I find that I'll find out about the deal there first......

And, everyone who hasn't used this yet should... I got my free 80 mins of LD with no hassle or complaints!

I signed up about a month ago. I set up my Rogers Wireless cell phone. It is cheap and I have not had any problems so far. No echoes like I experienced with a similar service. I have used up all my free minutes and have added money to put a credit and start an account. I would recommend this.

I signed up for this a little while ago after seeing the RFD link.
They were really diligent in helping me use the free 80 minutes, as I was having problems. Every time I called the access number they gave me, it kept asking for a PIN.
My emails were very promptly responded to ,and they fixed the issue. I'm quite impressed with their service.
