The sly thing that ML is doing is hosting the ads directly, knowing that doing so would bypass all commonplace adblockers.
There is zero denying it.

@scottalanmiller said in Skyetel is a scam:
Well, more like hiding the fact that is clearly isn't a scam and you made a false statement.
I made a statement that was factual based on all the information I had at the time. I in no way made an intentionally false statement.
Oh are we allowed to do that? Jump to a (radical) conclusion prematurely and then defend it by "I didn't have all the facts"?
I did not jump to any conclusion. I stated everything clearly and openly.
The subsequent discussion 1) proved that I could not have had all of the facts, thus my conclusion was logical, and 2) forced Skyetel to fix the cause of me not having the facts.

- Predates those software updates.
- They aren't ad blockers.
- Not being covered is not the same as working around. There is no work around.
So no portion of your statement is true.

I will update the topic title at your request. I dislike doing so because of the implied financial pressure of an advertiser.
Sorry, man, that's absolute BS.
Feel free to spin it anyway you want, fact is, your statement was far from factual. -

Can we please just nuke this whole thread? All the feedback was already taken into consideration. It's really not becoming a good look for anyone.

I think everyone is okay with that, but it's Jared's thread and would need his okay.

We're okay with it - and we apologize for any confusion we may have caused here. We updated our Port In page per @JaredBusch 's suggestions.

If anything, I think it's been a good look on Skyetel and an example of their customer service. Granted, it's out in the open and therefore have incentive to do better, but I think they've handled the bashing well and taken appropriate steps to satisfy the needy.

Hidden like this:
https://skyetel.com/pricing/Well no, that's their MSRP. But they have incredible pricing that can't be discussed publicly. I mean, we ARE discussing it right now, but you know what I mean.
Go check YOUR pricing inside of your Skyetel dashboard, it's a fraction of what is on that public pricing page.

Yea - he is referring to our "Relationship Pricing" that we mention here:

Looking at this from a reseller perspective......I would never do business with a company that published reseller pricing to the public. How on earth would you survive if your customers knew your costs for the products you are reselling to them? And yes, I can justify our margins, but why the hell would I want to have that battle, when it is completely unnecessary?

This is one of the top reasons why we don't publish those rates. About 80% of our customer base resells us to their own customers, and many of those end users will price compare our resellers to Flowroute, Voip.MS, BluIP, etc. We want our retail pricing to be what we would expect our resellers to charge their customers while our Relationship pricing be what we offer to those who are reselling us and/or those who provide technical support services that has end users not contacting our support team directly.
Since this issue seems to come up a lot, I am going to post a new post about our Relationship pricing in the next couple of weeks.

That's known as
pricing.But to go off on a rampage about unpublished pricing is completely off base here. (And not the first thread I have seen it in)
A.) they do publish pricing,
B.) if he was referring to the "special" pricing, well.... it should not be published.@JaredBusch said in Skyetel auto enables billable services without notice:
I already did not like them because of their hidden true pricing.
How is the pricing at https://skyetel.com/pricing/ not true pricing? If you do not negotiate a better deal, then that is what you will pay. How is that not true?
Show me the thread where you went after an auto manufacturer for posting the retail price in the window sticker instead of the "Hidden" price you are likely to actually pay.None of this is directed at you, Scott. I know you know how businesses stay in business. (say that ten time real fast)
