    Voom Billing Cycle Question

    Thanks for the replies. I called VOOM this morning and told them the news. The lady I spoke to did in fact state that I would be due a credit of about 20 some odd dollars due to the pro-rating of the prepaid month. FYI in case this isn't known. She said they only take the receiver and the...

    Voom Billing Cycle Question

    After many months of enjoying VOOM I have to say goodbye. I had some unexpected bills come up and can't afford the extra monthly cost so I must cancel as much as I hate to.

    My Switch From Charter Member to Lease Phone Call

    rang.. How did they say they would refund your money?.. I told the rep I wouldn't have minded them just crediting my VOOM account. That would give me almost 8 months of prepaid programming.. Rick

    My Switch From Charter Member to Lease Phone Call

    My wife told me that Voom called earlier today to confirm my choice of packages. I called them back after I got home from work. After about a 15 min. wait on hold a CR answered.

    Switch from owning the box to renting it?

    One guy posted over on the avsforums that it had been 30 days and still no refund from VOOM. I don't know though if he had an uninstall done or did a switch to the lease. Rick

    Some new boxes have firewire??

    My box swap was last week and it only has the original USB port like the old one did. I hope those that state this can up a pic so we can be sure they haven't mistaken it for a USB port.. Rick

    VOOM Installations

    To help soothe your worry, the activation line is not the same number as the one you would call in case you need support. The installer that came to swap out my old box told me this and he said it sometimes took 30 mins. to even get through to a rep to start the activation. This I took though as...
