It's been a funny old week

We went live with MAXroam 7 days ago and it has been a spectacular success. We sold more in the first day than I had budgeted for the first month. It's slowed down a bit now but we are still selling 3 times more a day than I had ever hoped for.

We've had lots of great comments from customers and we've made quite a few mistakes as well.

The biggest one was our rate sheet. A couple of times we posted the wrong one so people were confused about whether it was in euros or dollars. We also garnered the attention of David Pogue over at the NY Times who corrected his original piece. Of course Andy Abramson was onto the bandwagon immediately.

I say it's been a funny week because you'd think from all the comments from the "intelligentsia" that we were out to fool people. Our rates are public. They are good and they are honest. If you can find a better deal somewhere else then by all means buy that service.

We've got over a thousand customers now who think our rates are pretty good so I think I'll listen to them.
