But... but.... they advertise here! They must be legit, right?
(I'm assuming they still have ads here, I saw them for a moment before I went right click -> block element since the ads here are sneaky and designed to circumlocute ad blockers)
Yes, they jumped right into an advertising campaign here after the first conversations about them and their hidden pricing.
Somehow, @scottalanmiller claims it isn't hidden.
/me looks at ad. Yup. Somehow.

I haven't checked in a while from home (on a proper computer) but do the ads show up here when using PiHole?

Yes, because they host them locally on ML itself.

Never knew that, interesting and incredibly sneaky. . .

Where did I claim that? I agree that I don't like hidden pricing. I said that the pricing was good if you talked to @Skyetel - not that it wasn't hidden.

Yes, they aren't actually ads. Just images.

Not sneaky at all. PiHole only blocks ad hosting services, not pictures. Using ad hosting services is sketchy, not having pictures.

Then tell us about it. Because you also never posted any information on pricing in the previous threads.
If they made you sign something not allowing that, then fuck this company.

What do you have in this...
That is a drop down menu. I see the same menu.
Obviously, my CC is listed in payment methods and auto renew is disabled. Because I never let phone services auto-bill.

Can you share that screenshot?

Their cost is private, you can hate it as much as you want, but you have to ask the @Skyetel account for info on the pricing. It's hidden, I've always said it was hidden, but the pricing is good if you are willing to ask and if you didn't ask, then you are creating your own problems just to get to complain. The hidden pricing is what it is, but once you've been told it is hidden, which you have been several times, then complaints beyond that make no sense. You know the good pricing is open to you, you just have to talk to them, if you don't want to, don't, but it makes no sense to complain that you don't know the hidden prices just because you aren't willing to find out what it is.

Nothing under statements?

The problem that I have even with this, is @JaredBusch is being charged for calls received, when he has nothing setup.
That's a bit ridiculous.

Nutanix pricing is public, their PERFORMANCE is private. Totally different. I can report my Skyetel experience.

@JaredBusch your are being billed for service because you ported in a phone number (1618654****) and it is receiving inbound calls. Additionally, you are being billed for the Caller ID and Spam Prevention lookups that you have enabled on your phone number.
Lastly - you were billed when you ported in the number -

That's a bit ridiculous."Nothing set up" and "has a phone number" can't go together. Either he has a number that can take calls and has something set up, or he has nothing set up. Can't be both. That a PBX is tied to the number later in the process is, well, later in the process.

Delete those images at once you just spilled PII.
