It's like something they offer and make lots of noise about and then you're
like :"yeah, interesting, cool it can be done but I don;t need it". And
they're like... yeah but it's free... as though if they hadnt invented it
and put time into it and debugging and all you would pay the same price for
all you;re having now, but without the 3way convo...sure... of course you
fucking pay for it. I wish there were more possibilities of compiling the
right thing for you. I for one am not interested in VoIP stuff and all...
Though I CAN do it with my ISP. Drop the VoIP stuff and drop my bill as well
with a few euro's.
