VonageLovesYou, Even if You Don’t

Source: gigaom.com

It could pass as a cute little gesture, but somehow it smacks of desperation. The beleaguered VoIP service provider, Vonage (VG) has been in a ton of trouble, getting sued left, right and center by any telco with a VoIP-related patents. The legal worries are causing potential customers to pause and rethink before signing up for Vonage’s service. In order to lure them, Vonage has introduced a new website, VonageLovesYou.com, and is offering three months of phone service for $9.95-a-month, and is throwing in a free router, just to sweeten the deal. (Thanks to all of you who sent this tip.)
