Mino wireless

Is anyone else using Mino wireless? I have not been on the boards in awhile, but I searched "Mino" and nothing came back. It's a VOIP that uses your cell phone's Internet connection (edge or GPRS) to make calls. You can trigger calls from either the web or your phone - in my case a BlackBerry, but they claim most phones are supported (I think you need a BB or a Palm, or a phone with Java, Windows Mobile, DoCoMo, or Symbain).

Anyway, the rates are pretty good. Although there were a few small glitches with the set up, the e-mail support was great and they got me up and running in no time. Call quality on my test calls was excellent. People did not realize I was on VOIP.

Anyway, there's a promotion that credits certain users (I think region 1?) with $0.50 if you sign up - no other obligations. I think I also remember seeing something about a referral credit of $1 or something, but I don't see it on their site. If you sign up and it asks you for a referral, my e-mail is riiing@gmail.com and you can see if you get something (or maybe I do!).

Just another option for us out there. I posted a thread a long time ago before I moved to Finland about using VOIP to "seem" to have a US phone number while overseas. I was really excited about the possibilities at that point, and I ended up using some different programs (e.g., Gizmo, VOnage soft phone) with limited success at the time. Mino does not seem to help with incoming calls, but it's a nice way to keep one outgoing number at really low rates...as long as you have an Internet connection.
