Customer Referral Program
We've now launched a Customer Referral Program.
If you refer someone to VOIPo, simply have them provide your 10 Digit VOIPo Phone Number on the order form. Once their order is processed, we'll add a free month of service to both of your accounts automatically.
Referrer: 1 Free Month
Person Referred: 1 Free Month
When someone enters a referrer number on the order form, the form will validate it and display the name so they can verify that it's correct. This is valid for all residential orders including monthly and yearly plans. Users must enter the phone number at the time of order to receive credit.
When you have a completed referral, you'll be notified by e-mail. Soon, you'll be able to track the referral history in your vPanel when we launch the new fully-integrated billing in vPanel later this month.
If you have any questions about this, please contact support.

Just to clarify, this is for Residential Plans only at this point.

Looks like I hooked up my parents a month too soon! ;) I'll start working on other family members...
Re: Customer Referral Program
Is this starting today? I helped a friend sign up yesterday but I didn't see the referral option in there. Should have waited an extra day! ;)
Re: Customer Referral Program
This was pushed out yesterday afternoon -- so depending on what time they signed up, it sounds like they may have *just* missed it getting added!
The new section is listed under the 'VOIPo Plan Selection' box on the: Residential Order Form

Re: Customer Referral Program
Sounds like a sure method to avoid random credits.
Nobody will spam their own phone number!
Re: Customer Referral Program
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will it work if the person we refer uses a virtual number?

The only stupid question is the one not asked. :)
Currently it's only checking the primary account number, so a VN wouldn't work.
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.
Re: Customer Referral Program
^ makes sense. The referral "code" issue went over my head at first, but I get it now.
The reason for my asking was that most all of my friends/family use the VN to call (it was ported over after I signed up)...no biggie, they can deal with it. :)
