Aplus.net = pathetic
I hate unsolicited phonecalls, trying to sell me something. I really do. Especially to my f***king cell phone!
Aplus.net had the nerve to call me on my cell trying to sell my web hosting. I just thought I'd publically make this known, how low they're stooping to get business.

Oh get this, I am a webhost and they called me trying to sell me hosting! I just laughed at the guy. It's sad though, they call you anyime they wish just to sell you hosting/domains.

those calls are typically automated pre-recorded phone calls and not live people... I've gotten them many times trying to sell me web design services and other services they offer. They been doing this for almost 1 year now, so I assume it works if they continue to use them... I think this method of marketing will be getting popular in our industry as times goes on and Voice applications make it easier for the small company to use.

I get their calls often once I register a domain and not point it to a nameserver for a couple days. I always get the same person and each time I tell him that I don't want their calls anymore.

mripguru,
Not allowed and 'using it' are really two different things.
It's only until someone catches them in 'the act' that they'll stop (even then they're most likely doing so via a 3rd party and will just point fingers).

Agreed. I recall having read the same thing about them repeatedly. *sigh*
