I "heart" AIM Phoneline-but not Skype, Yahoo Voice or Vonage softphone

AOL can cancel your AIM Digits at any time.

Absolutely positively DO NOT use this service for Business Purposes, as AOL suggests. I spent close to $500 in advertising costs for my business using my AOL AIM PhoneLine Number -- only to have it cancelled without reason by AOL. I thought this service would be reliable.

What was their response when I contacted them? They said that I had cancelled the service and not them. I *never* cancelled my phoneline in any way whatsoever. But whatever their "system" says, goes.

I believe their system made the error in cancelling my service, but of course, they will never admit it. Their Terms of service state that AOL CAN CANCEL YOUR PHONELINE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT REASON.

For a secondary fun line, this is fine. But please... do not rely on always having your phone number. I just lost business revenue because of this -- which included a 1-year Advertisement in the Yellow Pages.

Bottom Line: Okay for Fun. Too Risky for Business.
