Default Betamax Spam AGAIN!

Well,

Betamax are up to their old tricks again.

Their new variant to add to their other 15 is http://www.freecall.com/en/index.html!

Growing rather tired of their countless sub brands!

I really dont get it! i can understand having a different varient for say the us market, and for alternative features like webcalldirect (allthough why not just have all the features availiable in one), but the amount of varients is now rediculous.

In my opinion it casts a poor light on their services.

If they are good enough, one or two varients should do...

Having so many makes me think that people are trying it, leaving, finding another variant and thinking "oh, perhaps voipcheap will be better than internetcalls.com" then, leaving, and thinking, "oh perhaps freecall will be better than internetcalls.com".

Possibly, but they are all so clearly the same, the website layouts are the same etc, so if they are trying to hide the fact they are doing a worse job of things than I thought (I have a voipcheap.co.uk account and its fine (apart from an echo), but I am aware of their lack of customer support). Its Bizzare.

I think its purely a merketing fact. If you have 20 site out 200 voip sites you much more likely to get business than if you have just 1.

I can't comment on their service as i've never used them. Think i might sign up just to have a poke about mind you. See if they are worth their 16 different identity.

Some web designer guy is making his buck or two!

if you do, please report back in the voipcheap thread here

(who do i think i am telling you how to post on your own site, haha, just want to make sure this topic doesnt end up discussing the pros and cons of voipcheap as the topic open kindof died but has a lot more that could be said.)

as i said in the other topic the recipiant often gets echo when i use voipcheap. i would like to hear how well it works through an ATA.
