This guy is looking at selling small sized systems to businesses. I
don't think he is looking at re-selling someone else's non CPE, IP only
solutions (with DIDs that are probably not even their own.)
The hardest thing is getting a new customer and the easiest thing is to
lose it.
Part of an asterisk business plan should probably be to avoid outfits
such as Rehan's. At least for now. Seems Supertechnologies is the cure
all to everything on the biz list. Although they have a GREAT MANY
offerings, I am not sure that they do any single one very well.
"Shoemaker, stick to thy last."
I for one am turned off by Rehan posting about his own company but not
stating his affiliation (over and over again.)
Not to say that the hosted service is not good. I am just wary of
business with these types of practices.
Thanks,
Steve
PS. OWA stinks!
Dear Alan,
If you like, you can test drive our hosted pbx services, which
come with DID numbers,

How many of your business contacts appreciate the pounding music which

One more reason not to click it....
