I was happy to see the changes at Voicestick. I hope they can make a go
of it. They really need to do some sales and marketing to the
telecommunications managers in the corporate world to get their volume
up to a sustainable level. Most large corporations use VOIP for long
distance, especially internationally, but the pairing of mobile phones
with Voicestick is where huge savings are possible. Alas, if too many
heavy mobile users understood how to pair something like "Sprint to
Home" with Voicestick then Sprint would likely drop the "Sprint to Home"
feature.

I added alt.cellular.sprintpcs to this thread because Voicestick is
especially applicable to Sprint because of the "Sprint to Home" option.
