I was wonder, how exactly does FreePhoneLine and it's parent company Fibernetics plan on delivering this free service on the long run? Once we've paid the initial cost of configuration and number porting, how will FPL get enough revenue to pay employees and actual phone services?
I'm just wondering if my FPL account is something I can look forward to use for the next several years and recommend it to friends and family, or is it more of a tech-toy-project of some kind.
Love the service so far, that's for sure!

There's a lot of revenue earned through advertising, termination, sales, long distance, etc. that help maintain our network and free service. As we always say, buying our long distance and our DSL over the competition will only further help us grow and expand!

Re: Commitment to staying free
Interesting story! I did know about 295 because I just switched my mother to that, after finding out about it by whatever search I was doing on your parent company.
That said, I guess the point is the FPL operates at break-even or perhaps slight loss, as long as it generates new customers for the other subsidiaries like DSL.
I sure hope it stays that way (free FPL services).
Good luck to you guys!
Also, Dominican Republic sounds like a great workplace. I should talk to my boss about that.
