Renewal procedures?

Not sure if this is the right section or not. And instead of calling in for the answer or pm'ing Tim; I thought it would be better to have it here so everyone could see it. Now that August is coming up; and "Paid Services" have been active for about a year now; (Congratulations Tim and VoipO staff); I have a couple of questions about renewal. And I apologize if the answer is around here some place. I've been in and out of town for the last few months and haven't had a chance to really search thing. Anyway; 3 part question.

1. If the credit card on our vpanel account is current, will VoipO AUTO-RENEW my existing plan or will I need to be somewhat proactive?
2. If I need to be pro-active, will we be receiving an email or will the vpanel show a "Click Here to Pay" button? (On Packet8, if you weren't VERY pro-active, you could have your phone just shut off one day. Getting it turned back on was a PITA).
3. As a "Founders" member, will the price be exactly the same as the current price or will there be any fees/taxes/price increases to expect?

Anyway, thanks for the answers. Congratulations on the one year anniversary. For what it's worth, the service has been Out-Freakin-Standing. I have no reservations about continuing to recommend the service. Now that I'm back in town for a while, hope to chat online more. Later..... Mike.......

Mike,
Unless something has changed, Tim answered my inquiry (similar to your question #2) can be found here
Never the less, it'd be nicer to have all of the "official" answers in one place
Cheers

Ive been monthly since last year... Its been pretty automatic for me.

So at the time of renewal or now for 1 year extension we pay the Founders Plan($99) rate + $36 in taxes ?

From what I've been told, it's just $99.

If you're on the founder's plan; (You are one of the originals, and it says founder's plan in your billing section of the vpanel); then you're just paying the $99. This is the original price you paid if on the founder's plan. That was one of the incentives to existing alpha/beta testers as well as some others who originally opened an account. I was pretty sure of that policy. But having been gone a while and not having logged into the forum, I wasn't sure if the policy had changed.

And I know when we first starting paying, the vpanel had a billing statement that we clicked and it allowed us to make payment. I was just wondering if the yearly renewal was going to automatically charge the credit card on file or if I would need to log into vpanel and make sure I clicked on the section to make a payment. later... mike.....

I have to ask, when did you become a customer? I signed up 8/15/08 and I don't have any such thing in the v panel.

I'm getting close to one year membership. ;)
