Onebox fine print insanity

How can Onebox just make this stuff up?

If you were selling your car to someone who told you that it was standard procedure to keep the insurance on the car active for 90 days after you sold the car so they’d have time to get it insured, what would you do? Because that’s exactly what the Onebox transfer agreement says!

This is a follow up to a post I wrote a few days ago $200 Hidden Fees in Onebox.

Onebox is claiming that it’s common courtesy for the phone company you are leaving to continue providing the service on a toll free number for 90 days AFTER the toll free number has already been released to another carrier. This is so ridiculous that I don’t know how to even describe it. It’s EXACTLY like an insurance company saying it’s common courtesy for other insurance companies to continue providing coverage for a car for 90 days after the car is sold so the new insurance company has time to add it to the new owner’s account. If that’s not an excuse to blame someone else for poor service I don’t know what is! It’s so ridiculous I don’t know what else to say or think anything else is really even necessary. It’s just insane…

        I just noticed something about another company doing this. Ringcentral is also requesting this. But it’s totally abusurd.

        I know this is blunt but honestly, it’s nothing more than a way for them to blame someone else for them not doing their job.

        Here’s a better example. Does anyone think Verizon will continue to provide phone service for another month after I transfer my local service to another carrier just in case the new carrier doesn’t get the service turned on in time?

        Or if you move out of an apartment do you think the phone company will keep the service going for an additional 30 days until the new tenant gets going.

        So Onebox and RingCentral, I’m sorry. That’s just stupid.

          Thank you for all of your help, going through and helping us find a great number (866-945-GEEK) for our computer consulting business. This is the first time we have setup a toll free number, and you've made the process so simple and user-friendly. This number will be a valuable asset to our business, since it sets us a cut above our competitors.

          Sincerely,

          This is only my second week on the job and I have never ordered toll free numbers before. I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I went to your site, I was amazed at how easy I was able to navigate through it. I was able to find the numbers I needed and they were ordered that day. My boss was very pleased. Sprint Master Agent wireless distributor

          Thank you for making my job a breeze. I will definitely be ordering from your site in the future.

          Bill Quimby and his staff provided me with exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. It is not often that that level of service is found by simply searching the internet and calling the company. I was very impressed with the quick response to my request and by the follow-up to be sure that my order was fulfilled immediately. The 877 # that I ordered was working before I hung up the phone with the person who took my credit card and confirmed my order! That was amazing even in today's "I need it yesterday" mode of business operations.

          Being an I.T. consultant for the last 20 years, I am called upon to do things quickly, correctly and cost efficiently. With Bill's service, I was able to satisfy my client's request in less than an hour, with a great number for a great price. In the future, I will be using Bill's service at every opportunity.

          Thanks Bill. It is a pleasure doing business with someone who remembers how business should be done.

          At our Cruise Holidays cruise travel store, we use the telephone extensively to help guests find the perfect cruise vacation. A toll-free number is very important for us and your website is the quickest way to find and reserve a number that is easy to remember. In addition, your guidelines when assigning the number to a telephone company are complete and invaluable.

          Thank you so much for providing your services. At first I was sceptical whether you could actually deliver what you said you provided. However, I was able to get a great vanity number for my educational toysite, 1-888-TOYS-PLUS. And the service was very reasonably priced, actually less than my local telephone company! \Your computerized service that provides the list of numbers related to my keywords is fabulous. I think I have found another vanity number for my second business as well. I really appreciate your personalized help with my search for appropriate vanity numbers.

          You rock! As a bootstrapping startup I almost laughed out of my chair when a company tried to charge me 15 grand for the same number I purchased from you for 50 bucks in five minutes. It rang through to my cell phone almost immediately and we are getting set up with our call center asap for Personal Pediatrics, 888 MD FOR KIDS. Thank You.
