we've been on the vonage bandwagon since november. I love it! if you have a cable modem, you must try Voice Over IP phone service.

it's cheap, it includes absolutely awesome features, the sound quality is indistinguishable from "traditional" phones, I hooked mine up in five minutes, and did I mention cheap? $15/month includes nationwide long distance!

okay... so the real reason I'm spamming about this.... I get two months of free service for anyone I refer to vonage. the deal is I send you a link, and if you use the link to sign up, I get free phone service.

so, check out www.vonage.com, if it looks interesting, PM me & I'll hook you up!

we now return you to your regularly scheduled tint discussions.

been thinking about it but I am not quite sure if I am ready as of yet

[*]259322

I was also wondering about it for about a year, actually. one of my friends got it, and at first I thought it was a phase. we finally took the "plunge" and I've liked from day one, although I wanted to give it some time before I told the world how much I've loved it.

only limitations I've seen:

you must register for 911 service.

there is no paper bill, they debit a card number every month (cc or check card). however you can still check your detailed call history online. it's usually updated within a few minutes of placing a call.

my favorite feature is the call forwarding. we use the simul-ring so the vonage number rings the house and my husband's cell phone at the same time. the best part is you make a change to any feature on the website and it goes into effect within minutes.

we make so many "local long distance" calls, we almost never used the land lines, always used cell phones. same for the business... this made it really annoying to have to pay so much for just a basic phone service. we find we use the "land" lines more often now because we don't have to think about where we're calling now and how much it's costing us.

I'll stop the commerical now. Mostly my issue was with my local phone company. In our area Sprint has a monopoly. It was a breath of fresh air to not be forced to use them anymore.

check out at&ts call vantage, they have a presence in more areas and may be able to port your # if

you dont have any special features on your phone line , like distinctive ring or a foreign exchange #.

its only 5$ more a month than vonage and has all the same features.

      Xpel; rookie (me) popped air pocket and nicked paint

      Sometimes customers show up with a few chips but no touch up paint to fix them before the install. I have had pretty good luck putting a few drops of touch up paint in a syringe and injecting that under the film into the chip once they come back with the paint. You might want to try that when that paint on top washes off.

      Reimbursement for warranty work on solar or safety film

      Just out of curiosity - how much do different manufacturers pay for labor for warranty work on solar and safety films? Thanks!

      Marks appearing on the window after tint removal

      I would go at it with a few chemicals to see what might work and definitely have some steel wool like @Tintguy1980 mentioned. Wouldn't hurt to tape off the edge of the frame and use some plastic sheeting to keep the chems off the paint and rince everything after. Chems I might try: 1. 3m adhesive remover in the red can (not aerosol) 2. Spot Shot 3. Rapid Remover Or maybe just a tablespoon of soap in a bottle of water and a scraper blade. Alcohol won't always do it depending on what the adhesive is polar towards, and can sometimes seem to harden it. If you are BLADING THE GLASS, make a conscious effort to ALWAYS HAVE ONE ARM BEHIND YOUR BACK. Failure to do so can send you to the hospital quickly...this was a tough lesson that I and many others learned the hard way!!!

      Sounds like you just experienced dry adhesive, which chemically forms a bond between glass and adhesive. It is the most successful adhesive for long term visual quality and bond strength (longevity). It IS a real bear to remove at any point after it chemically cures to the glass (usually within 30 days). Lots of blades and elbow grease for sure. My method was to scrape a strip and yank, scrape a strip and yank ... again and again until time to remove the residual adhesive. There are not many 'safe' chemicals that can be used to 'easily' remove it. I do know that a dry adhesive will come away from the surface of glass a little easier when the surface temp is below 40 F. Who has that kind of opportunity other than those in Canada/Alaska type environments. Sad. You can try using 000 or 0000 steel wool in an attempt to remove those marks. Outside of this I cannot remember any others ideas for tackling that.

      Yeah, dual-pane glazing units can fail at any point in time from day 1 and up. It's rare in the first couple of seasonal cycles, but you never know until it shows itself. Dual and Triple pane systems rely on the seal between glass and spacer. Even there they can have a single seal; glass to spacer, or a double seal that wraps the outer edges and seals (encapsulates) spacer and glass as well. The latter is found in high quality glazing systems. The former brings trouble before its time. The gas or dead air space between the panes has zero to little impact of failure of seals. Once a seal is compromised (for whatever reason), moisture intrusion occurs. It can be visible to the eye when cool and it can be microscopically invisible. What produces the visible lines, smudges, spots, etc. is the desiccant (located in the spacer to absorb any minute moisture). Kind of like the dry packets used in shipping goods. Desiccant gets wet, heats up to vapor from sun exposure, it deposits on the interior of the system and once the sun dries it, you get a number of different aforementioned looks; some obvious, some not so much until film is applied. You can have the one sash replaced, either through warranty based on seal failure or by out of pocket cost. Be sure you let the window folks know the other panes do not display the same as the one in question. They have a tendency to baselessly blame seal failure on applied window film, which our industry has dispelled through long term studies using the 'right' window film for the system. Good luck

      Marks appearing on the window after tint removal

      Hey guys, Hope all is well by your side! Quick question: I went on site to remove a tint that were installed approx 2 years ago. External window film, don't know the brand of that film. Once I came on site and tried to remove the film with pure alcohol and cleaning blades, I struggled a LOT. It took hours for me to remove the adhesive. After the film has been removed, I spotted on the window some kind of weird marks that appeared as you can see on the attached pictures (only a few marks here and there on the glazing). I tried to remove those marks from the glazing without any success... Did someone experienced the same issue and has potential solution to remove those marks? Would it be the film responsible for such issue or, did I miss something during the removal process of the film ? Any piece of advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support!
