I don't understand how the http://your-carrier-is-hijacking-dns.com/ url works. Am I supposed to see Rick Ashley?
I think Charge meant to use it to show you what happens when you visit an unregistered domain. This being the Internet, someone registered it and pointed it at Rick Astley.
Can I have no voicemail ? That's a feature I really want and it's not easy to do. If you configure a mobile phone line without voicemail, it will not just ring and ring and ring (as I hoped it would) - instead, the caller gets a message that "the number you have dialed is not accepting calls at this time" ... or some other message (depending on the carrier) that makes it sound like you don't pay your phonebill or som…
I always wondered why mobile carriers don't text you "voicemail from ..." and attach an mp3 file of the message.
Ha, love it that someone went out and registered http://your-carrier-is-hijacking-dns.com/

I'm paying no monthly fees on Ringplus for a decent plan (3500 min/sms/mb). It's not so simple to get, they have "flash promos" with good plans, but if you sign up for promo emails at https://promos.ringplus.net/ you should be able to catch them (one's going on today and tomorrow). The only catches are a weirdly structured sign up fee (minimum top up for most plans, and now they have member+ only plans, which costs $…
> The future of phone service is free.
For Ringplus, yes. For other providers, perhaps inexpensive enough to be considered "free".
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How is this even possible? Their site seems so sketchy.
They do charge random startup fees, and they have ads on every call you place, but only before it's picked up.
You are able to use that balance for any overages.
They did start charging upgrade fees for a few promotions but that is often 0 too.
Aaaand they are a Sprint MVNO. Sprint has a pretty bad network in most of the US. Maybe they'll pull a Google-Fi and make themselves available on more networks.
I switched from a Sprint MVNO to a GSM operator a couple years ago and then back to another Sprint MVNO several months ago. Before I left, I often had problems with connectivity. After returning, I found that connectivity problems were rare. I suspect that Sprint today is about as good as Verizon was 5 years ago, which is good enough if the price is right. In my case, I signed up with RingPlus, which charged me once…
I heard about this about a decade back. Is this still happening anywhere in the world?
> When you mistype a URL we don't sell your mistake to a bottom-feeding DNS ad network. If you see a search results page with ads when you click your-carrier-is-hijacking-dns.com, you'll know you have a problem. A problem you wouldn't have with Charge.
