[Comment: I have looked over this company's web site a little bit and
while they are so new that I can't find any customer reviews of their
service, I can say that even if they do give decent service they don't
have as many features as some of their longer-established competitors,
and they only have Michigan numbers in some ratecenters in the Detroit
LATA. In my personal opinion, the only reason I would ever consider
this company would be if I made a lot of international calls to the
locations covered by their unlimited plan -- otherwise, as someone who
generally only makes calls within the United States, I'd be much more
attracted to a company with more features, a record of good customer
service, and numbers in or near my ratecenter.]
