I would have to agree that it is rather ######ed. Perhaps you should take it to a higher up.

dude. thanks for the heads up. i always wonder about the customer service on some of these companies...now we know.
and it cost them more than $18!
When will these companies learn? or maybe its the employees that just don't care.

I'm taking a customer service course right now, for every customer that has a bad experience, they usually tell between 10 and 20 people. In the end, the $18 "problem" ends up costing them something like 65 000 dollars a year in revenue between losing the money that you're not spending on them and the costs for advertising to get someone to replace you. Never mind anybody else who would stop using them because of it.

I sent an email to the customer care contact on the website and they had all kinds of topics to choose from expect customer complaints. Needless to say they told me the same thing.
Really pathetic.

What I would have done was set up a reminder on my computer to call them the day before the cancellation takes effect.
I know with other telecommunications companies they require a full 30 days notice to cancel; in a way Vonage is offerring you a better option by allowing you to cancel with a couple of days notice; if you time it correctly. Not saying they are right, just trying to give this cloud a bit of a silver lining.

Here's the thing. It is all software! The only "challenge" is their billing system and perhaps the collection of hardware.
IMO, doing the right thing isn't always about today.
i find it incredible that a company that spends millions on advertising how fun a company they are would be such jerks when trying to move.
when customers are treated as a locked in cash flow...we know what should happen.

Not Shaw. Well, that I am aware of. Per day billing has been my experience with them.
When I used Primus Talk Broadband and after Vonage, I was a Telus and Bell customer, as I spent more time on my cell and a pay phone.
