Sign up, they call you to give you a PIN, activate your account using the PIN and that's it!

NOTE: if you have trouble getting it to accept your address, add a space to your postal code (Z9Z 9Z9).

I ran into this problem and called them up (1877GO1AND1) and was surprised to get a live reply without even being put on hold!

Amazing service so far, I'm impressed!

Where's the catch?

Jon...

Free Newserver?

Did I miss something? Where can I find the free Newserver? (I'll take one of the free mortgages if they come available also.)

it seems I dont have to give out my CC #, so i'll give it a shot. You can never have to much free server space. K I cna't get it 2 accept my address.

heh, dunno if i like the whole them phoning the pin # to you.. sounds like they'll want to make sure your number is right so they can sell it off

Good Find... waiting for my 2nd Email @@

it doesn't take long for the 1st email.. like right away

2nd email.. takes like forever

yea, second email took a long time, but i got it. time to try it out

thx GQinfinity...

FYI

looks like a one-guy company.

note that the domain registration expires in *2 DAYS*!! What kind of company leaves their domain registration to within 2 days without renewing??

Free is still free, but i'd be cautious. (There is no free lunch.)

And they will steal your airtime in exchange for "free" service. :P

if you take a look at the whois info, notice the "suite number" meaning it could possibly be an office. So I highly doubt it's an one-man operation, tho that suite number might be condo

and expiration might not be accurate. but I'm pretty sure the "created" date is and 3 years ago. though not sure why it took them this long for their "grand opening."
