Khalid noted that the reference code he had has expired. He also noted if your price was $150 not $100 (I think), his code was indeed not working. (For 'coupon codes' I've sometimes found success just googling for it. <a href="http://www.redflagdeals.com/" target="_blank">http://www.redflagdeals.com/</a> comes to mind as a possible source, perhaps within a forum.)<br>
<br>
So far as I know, nothing here / the Ooma involves openWRT. Perhaps it's time to change the subject line?<br>

Well we finally got this settled... After much yelling and screaming<br>
and using words that I was making up on the spot, I got Bell to: a)<br>
cancel the satellite accountb) admit they were wrong about the rental<br>
unitc) credit me for one year's rental charges So Phase Three of<br>
"Project Bye-Bye Bell" is now complete (Phase One was move from Bell<br>
DSL to TekSavvy Cable, Phase Two was move my cellphone to Telus,<br>
Phase Three is the TV) All that remains is Phase Four: cancel the<br>
home phone and Phase Five: Move Wifeski's cell to Telus. So I'm 90%<br>
ready to order the home phone package from Ooma. Khalid, do you<br>
still have that reference code so you get a bonus for referring me?<br>
Let me know as soon as you can so I can place the order. This weekend<br>
Wifeski and I are going to that "mall" thing where they keep the<br>
Telus store and spying out some cellphones for her. We will be more<br>
than happy to pay the early cancellation fee, especially now that we<br>
have a credit account from the rental charges refund! Then I will do<br>
my best Martin Luther King Jr. impersonation with my rendition of<br>
“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.”<br>
!! Thanks to all of the gang here who helped so far! Jeff<br>

Actually cancelling the satellite in itself isn't a problem, it's<br>
that these crooks are claiming that we still have a rental receiver.<br>
That unit broke three years ago and they didn't have replacement<br>
parts so we sent the unit back and bought a new one. Now they are<br>
saying that we still have it "at our cottage" (I've never owned a<br>
cottage).<br>
<br>
<br>
So I phoned a different department (billing) and asked them why the<br>
hell have I been paying rental this past three years. so now they're<br>
trying to find the rental unit in their records.<br>
<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, we've had it with Bell so we're dropping all of their<br>
services even if we have to pay penalties..<br>

For Wifeski and I, we are in the middle of making Ma Bell walk the<br>
plank.. This is a bit off topic but ultimately it all comes under<br>
"why I need unlimited internet and a good router firmware".<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We are trying to cancel our Bell satellite TV. They are pulling<br>
several tricks right now to get us to stay (including something that<br>
sounds like extortion to me), but they will be gone shortly. That's<br>
$90 a month liberated in the Name of the People.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Bell changed their terms of effective March 31. You have every right<br>
to cancel their services without penalty. I was moving and saved 6<br>
months of charges. You have until the end of April to opt out. This<br>
was in the January bill package.<br>
