Hi Luca
We have approx 80 phones on test with bloggers/Journalists at present however due to the huge success of MAXroam we may have to slow down on Cubic mobile, I would however like to send you out a phone for you to test to enable you to make a judgement on it yourself and maybe satisfy the naysayers like Ian who haven't even seen the product or contacted me for a test unit (I am pretty easy to find), can you let me know by email which countries fixed line numbers you would like on your phone and I will get shipped today.

Thank you Luca
I am so glad it worked out for you, stand by for some amazing upgrades

Re: The Cubic Experience

Pat Phelan — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 03:41:23 -0000

@alessandro
we buy DID (numbers) on a spot market basis, its the only way we could figure out how to keep prices somewhat real, we buy from 4 suppliers and our API checks all four based on quality and cost and offers this as a choice to the customer.
we have just added Italy, Sweden and Poland as one of our first free countries and expect to add lots more as the weeks go on.
We make zero margin on DID's but we only purchase tier1 ones.

Re: The Cubic Experience

Pat Phelan — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 03:02:55 -0000

Paul
they are free as a first number
So you can buy a SIM today and pick Italy,Poland,Sweden, USA,UK,USA and France as your primary number and get it completely free, you already have a primary number and that's your free one.

Having seeing you in action @ Von I can definitely agree on Whitney's opinion of you being the internet's electrician.

This is probably the only area in which I disagree with Dead 2.0 although I do miss manually browsing blogs but the time saved factor more than makes up for this.

Re: Have I lost my “blog power”?

Pat Phelan — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 03:24:02 -0000

I think Steve Gilmour is corect.This is not about links etc.
I started about 6 weeks ago and chased my tail for a month becoming a total link junky.
Now I write about subjects I like and one on which I have a little knowledge.
Traffic builds slowly and I can sometimes go a week without a comment.
But hey I got 445 hits yesterday and if I get 446 any day next week its progress.
This isnt about who has the most toys its who gets to enjoy himself with the toys he has.
Keep doing what you do.

Was never out of my jeans during last weeks visit to the valley although did wear a jacket for my introduction to Shel's mother in law.

Re: Happy Halloween photos

Pat Phelan — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 12:24:57 -0000

Last Saturday Shel drove me all around this area. I had never seen pumpkin farms before as Halloween isn't such a big deal in Ireland.
Amazing to see queues of Mom,Pops and kids driving out to pick up their pumpkins.

Pat Phelan — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 11:40:16 -0000

Got a real smart 3G phone in the mail last week, much as I really wanted to keep it (and I did) I had to send it back.
pay per post,free gifts, sponsorship its all the same thing.
Its removes my independence and makes me feel as if I have to comment positively.

Re: Arrington and Calacanis announce new conference

Fantastic news, really brilliant.
I couldn't have afforded 20k or justified it for Demo Robert even if I wanted to.

Re: Which blog search engine is covering Demo best?

Pat Phelan — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:04:30 -0000

Without a doubt Google, created my feed and now I sit back on wait for teleflip to steal the show tomorrow

Re: The hype about that micro blogging service

Pat Phelan — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:05:00 -0000

I am not a fan of the not to be mentioned service, I have a busy life and more "noise" doesn't help my productivity.
Nice to see you back Robert, did I see somewhere you are attending VON, if so will see you there

Re: Nothing more boring than the “narcissystem”

Pat Phelan — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 05:57:41 -0000

I enjoyed our chat Robert, its an interesting subject but the wow factor like the T word last only a couple of seconds. I think the technology that connected us for me is of more relevance. You were using your EVDO, a camera, a laptop and a phone. I was using a laptop and a gsm/wifi hybrid phone. I called you over SIP and I could have been anywhere.
Anyways, I was sorry to cut our chat short. I was off to see Shooter starring Marky Mark . Great movie and only slightly more interesting than our chat. keep up the good work.

Cant comment on most Robert but the telecoms sector choice were appalling
Charles Dunstone has written 1 post this year.
ABI Research isn't a blog.
Ntl Hell is a forum.

Total and utter crap, where is Ken Camp, Jeff Pulver, Andy Abramson,Tom Evslin and loads of others.

Re: The biggest problem for Facebook’s app platform

Pat Phelan — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 03:06:33 -0000

Not really having the same problems here Robert, I like the Dopplr app quite a lot and its always pretty ok, The new Jangl app Phonebook is really good also. Lets give everyone time to bed this in.
Gave up on Twitter and Pownce appears not to be going to happen unfortunately.

Re: Crowdsourcing the answer to “what conference to attend?”

Pat Phelan — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 03:37:29 -0000
