Oh, I still remember. I just don't think it would be polite to ruin the surprise for HR. Besides, you guys will find out in a matter of hours anyway. Have a good night's sleep. :D

This thought has crossed my mind as well. If so, I have to give them credit. They have gone all the way with it. It would certainly be a good one.

That would be a lot of invested time and money for an april fool's joke. There are much better jokes to pull for less money.

Less money? A simple webpage and some forum posts aren't going to break the bank.. lol

Either way, should be interesting to find out today... :)

Hmm, yeah right. I can tell for a fact that you're wrong because I saw this mornings Host Rocket press release.

From the NOCblog:
Other company officials also stated that HostRocket has been planning and preparing for the launch of the service for over six months and has invested several hundred thousand dollars in its staff, infrastructure, and facility during that time.

Righty-o.

Virtual Telephone_Unlimited

This type of new technology, otherwise known as Voice Over IP Service, has allowed those to establish a normal telephone number anywhere in the country. When dialed it rings the telephone attached to a laptop anywhere in the world.

Cost of service is lower than what you would expect to see through the telephone, even though a recent search shows Verizon has the service at double the price:

If this is what HR is launching, then HR can very well be another AT&T. :)
Did I win something for posting correctly what VT Unlimited would be? :)

Here is the email I received today:

Welcome to VT_Unlimited, the exclusive pre-launch group for ViaTalk,
HostRocket’s new VoIP (Voice over IP) service!

Today the VT_Unlimited list will be closed to public subscription.
You’re a part of VT_Unlimited because you’re smart enough to recognize an
opportunity when you see one.

In your member area, you will find a coupon code. When the service
launches, you will be able to use this coupon for free VoIP service. Some coupons
are good for 2 months of free service, some are good for more, and some
are even good for 12. In addition to free service, some lucky winners are
going to get $100 in free equipment. While they may be good for different
things, all coupon codes are good for something.

When the ViaTalk service launches in May, you’ll have access to it
before the general public. At that point, you can also determine the value of
and use your coupon. In addition to free service and pre-launch access, you
also have access to a number of other benefits including free shipping and
a chance to win great prizes including Apple iPods upon launch.

The benefits of VT_Unlimited membership are great, but we want to give you
a chance to how what a good friend you are. In addition to the coupon code
in the member area, you’ll find a limited number of viaVites which you
can send to friends to invite them to VT_Unlimited. They’ll have access
to all the same benefits that you’re going to enjoy.

You’ll be receiving an e-mail shortly with more information about
viaVites and the VT_Unlimited member’s area. Follow the instructions in that
e-mail to activate your account.

Once again, welcome to VT_Unlimited and the future of VoIP communications!


Thanks,

The Team at ViaTalk

Dave, I think you did win something, but posting the same thing in two other threads have since negated the eligibility of unsaid prize!

Just a reminder, dont forget to send out your ViaVites.... each one you send out that is accepted is an extra entry for you in the prize drawings that will lead up to launch! Not to mention you're hooking a friend up with a pretty nice discount on a great service!

Very cute. ;)

(I was surprised to see that the moderators here (Community Leaders) dismissed my correct answer last month as not being what VT was. I guess they were either trying to throw us off the trail or were possibly out-of-the-loop . :) )

We were out of the loop. I did find out long before anyone else though that it was called "via talk" but other then that I knew nothing, until two or three days ago when I searched Yahoo for viatalk, and found viatalk.com and viewed a cached page of it, and by that time, others had begun to find out what it was too.
