I'm just going to cash out my $10 and leave it at that. PFI- They nixed the .05 per call which makes this not worthwhile to me. I’m just going to cash out my $10 and leave it at that.

There probably are lots of people coming up with schemes to cheat some money out of the deal though.

How do they track fraud? I mean, couldn't I set this up on my home phone and then just call from my cell 50 times a day? Seems like they would try to discourage that. oh wow… how annoying, but pretty cool to make money from getting calls. How do they track fraud?

Awesome..." I am glad that they offer some insurance that you can turn the message off for people you know, because I would not feel comfortable with my friends and family having to listen to an ad just to call me.

The quality of the message is not all that great, and is, indeed, pretty obnoxious. I, too, am giving out the number to folks I suspect would sell to a telemarketer. Last night a credit card company tried to call about something. Pretty entertaining to realize they were being as annoyed as they are annoying! (When I spoke with a rep, I simply said it was a number used to forward calls as necessary. Made $2 off them!) Nice side benefit is their caller ID which I don't have on our phone, being, well, stingy. I’ve been “enrolled” for about a month.
