We could add in linked VN's to accept as well, but that might counter-act the idea of making it more of a 'friends and family' style referral (ie, referring new customers who you'd be comfortable giving your primary number).

We've got some other referral and reseller ideas and programs on the drawing board that might be geared a bit more toward this kind of thing; however, the focus for this particular item -- as usa2k alluded to -- was keeping random credits and spamming referral 'codes' to a minimum.

Why not try a system like Hostgator uses where everyone has a referral code instead of their number. Support for referral links would be great too. Then if I chose to advertise on one of my websites I do not have to supply my home number (which is never going to happen).

We've got something a bit more along these lines on the drawing board..

The current referral did not get much DSLR attention.
More likely, because it is kind of spam-proof, it is accepted.

oops wrong thread

The Referral Program has now been expanded to include all VOIPo services.

You can now refer new customers to VOIPo for VOIPo Express services including Toll-Free Numbers, Forwarded Local Numbers, and Fax Numbers.

If you have multiple numbers in your account and refer someone, you can use any of them. Whatever number is entered as the Referrer will have a free month applied.

Referrer: 1 Free Month
Referral: 1 Free Month (2nd Month)

Hate to bring this thread back to life, but I just signed my parents up for service and used my number for the referral.

I see the free month in my account, but I don't see a free month in her account, does it take 30 days for it to show up in her account? Thanks.

I had a friend who subscribed upon my referral, but he said he never could find the box or link to put in the referral information

Yes, it's active.

They just need to put your 10 digit VOIPo number in as the referral code (no spaces or dashes).

It's listed as "Promo/Referral Code" on the order form. For residential, it's near the bottom subtotal area and for the other services it's in the contact info area.

PM me your friend's info and I'll take care of it.
