Mrs. Gringa60.... Maybe you should clean your upper lip so you want smell that rat anymore. Soap does work quite well.

Let me ask you something? Isn't this community about getting to know each other and possibly helping others out?

Mr. Hollywood You are probably right, they might do this to get emails for marketing. But I see that a lot of companies try to get your emails in one way or another. Hence, the reason why a lot of us use two emails. One for spamming and one that we only give to people we trust. At least I do.

You're also giving them your phone number If you use that callback service you're also giving them your home phone number.

You are right about that But if I ever get a call from them I'm going to go down there and pounce on Mr. Sanchez to a pulp. That just wouldn't be cool you know.

just curious... i followed your instructions to the site and gave the pertinent information. entered our number and the tel number of the family in envigado (medellin) and after 'clicking', it said your call has been logged in yor phone will ring in a few moments......

well, having dial-up, i can't be on the phone and the computer, too, so i disconnected from the web and waited for the phone to ring..... zip. duh. well, they got my phone number here, and in colombia. does this constitute, 'had'?

i guess since i don't want to believe i've just been 'had', i'll ask if you have to have high speed cable access for this to work; if you have to maintain your web link open and be able to receive a call?

well, that's the way it goes. i'll just have to pick up the phone and call the folks at full price.

peace, dw

dwmte It has worked for me but a I few times I've had to try it two or three times. You best bet is to contact the guy at vmacorp esanchez at vmacorp.com.

Also, tell him that Maria Alicia told you to ask him for a free $10.00 prepaid phone card(see the other thread). A couple of people have already gotten theirs. Hope this help.

Gringa60, What is wrong with helping out? This is for you...

Maria Alicia,

I understand exactly where you are coming from. It is very hard to believe that in today’s world anyone would be giving out anything for free. But we are new company and we are out to prove that it is the quality of our people and products that makes a difference. I still have about 30 $10.00 cards left sitting here on my desk that I will give to any one who emails me for them and names you in their request. Please let your forum know that it is only one per household.

In the meantime share this one with your online forum. Maybe they’ll start believing…

Card: Value True Minutes
Card Value: $10.00US
Access Number: 866-591-3021
PIN: 361-727-8853
Control Number: 199995675

Let me know if you still have any questions.

Regards,
Ed Sanchez

Maybe it was to good to be true I had been making free phone calls around the world at http://www.vmacorp.com/custom/beta/test.html, but when I tried to yesterday my phone never rang. I wasn't able to get through.

Has anybody been able to use this lately?

Or maybe it was too good to be true...
