   Vonage Runs Afoul Of Dreaded 'Failure To Hyperlink

   Has anyone said anything about Vonage's attempts to sell by phone? Just curious...that I'm not the only one.

   A picky point, but the definition of SPAM is email sent to an address that you have no prior business relationship with, so SPAMming your customers isn't possible...

   That may be your definition of spam, Mr. McKimmie, but most of us consider any unrequested commercial e-mail to be spam. If I didn't ask for it, and it is not directly related to existing business dealings (Billing, payment confirmation, shipping notification, and the like) then it's spam.

   Vonage

   I'm always amazed by how persistent Vonage is with all their offerings. According to an article (and I think their prospectus) they spend almost $300 recruiting each customer.
   
   I've also gotten their 'spam' but if I remember correctly, their Service Terms permit that kind of thing.
   
   I can't wait until they start calling....I mean it is not like you can unlist your number from them...

   mistakes

   Forgetting to add a hyperlink to their prospectus?
   This isn't a 15 year- old throwing an email ad together for his dad's bakery, whoever did this work
   should have known all of the details and regulations.
   Lawyers will eat this up because smaller mistakes than this add up to big money.

   Peet has a point, even though I do believe that any unwanted email should be considered 'spam' of some sort, there is a big difference between some strange random company and a company that you already have a business relationship with.
   
   But that said, most responsible companies allow you to easily indiciate whether or not you want to receive emails of that sort.
   
   I definitely don't agree with it, but it seems there should be some middle ground 'spam' term so that emails like the one Vonage sent out can be properly dealt with...

   Vonage phone calls

   

   Robert, May 26th, 2006 @ 10:35am

   
   

   I am a Vonage user, but they didn't CALL me about the IPO - I just had a voice mail about it... Apparently, they just put the messages into the VM system without actually making the call.
