Price is $29.99 per month
Same as giving out the phone number. No "safeguard".
Like I said, girl meets guy at a bar but doesnt want to give out her digits, so she gives out her keyword. If things don't work out she can just block his incoming calls. Every female in America would sign up for the service as a safeguard...charge like 10/month and .01/minute. Whoever has a direct contact with Ike, send it along.
There is no "button" to press.
In seven months, I have never been aware of a way to "block" people texting a Voice Keyword.
If someone using a Voice Keyword tells someone their Keyword, it the same as giving them their phone number, except it is easier to remember.
Companies using Voice Keywords can get the data on where the texts came from.
You press a button, and boom that person cant contact you

Here's your contact, go gettum, good luck.
Nice lady.
Please, I read it and you read it. You quoted the PR.
Your writing so much you must have forgot what you wrote. Go back and read your post quoting the PR when the 90 days started (post 116524)
I try to be nice, your not.
I'll stop trying to correct all your mis information.
Posters that have been around here much longer than you, have more facts than you'll ever have.
I can argue respectfully, right Unique. I can respect opinions, even if I don't agree, and some of my opinions have changed in the last seven months.
As far as your statistics go, remember;
"Statistics are like a bikini, what they reveal is interesting, what they conceal is vital"
Goodbye
another one who doesn't read, it launches in late January
90 day "promotion" started Nov. 29th
sure, when it occurs later this month
Yes, plenty of ways/ideas you go go with them. Their main office is 2 blocks from where I am now.
GROUPON....Here's an idea (not sure if mentioned before).....
GROUPON
Why don't we have Ike offer a Groupon or Living Social deal to their subscribers for vanity keywords? That might bring a nice influx of immediate cash.
It can perhaps be for a one year lease of a vanity word with 50 free minutes per month.
I didn't know that, thanks.
Could you paste a Twitter page showing the GO800 advertising on Twitter? Can't wait to see that. (I cannot get on Twitter)
Of course they can sign up, its just a 90 day promtion where each day the admins for the companies on Twitter and the other 190M users will se GO800 advertising, just like you see the 40404 text prompt at the top of every single Twitter page right now.
Heck, for all we know, Twitter and GOIG may have a behind the scenes agreement to join forces, a 90 day promotion is unheard of for a major websites like that.
Twitter wants to catch Facebook in net worth and demand, well GO800 may be just one of Twitter's trys to help do that.
Ok, if I took it out of context, please correct me.
Just wondering what your opinion is on what happens regarding companies that want to sign up after 90 days.
Not sure, as you have taken the sentence I wrote out of context, I was referring to the pricing structure as you are adament it has changed.
.01-.04 is what you seem to be implying per minute, while the GOIG website still says .04/minute.....
The billable minutes are so large that we need to find out what the charge is, but I agree, a tiered structure may work best
Help me understand, after 90 days, will companies not be able to sign up for a Keyword?
its a 90 day promotion, not 1 and done, it'll last for 3 months...lots of buzz
nice GOIG only?
This I found so far, for today.
Delaney Equity Group LLC DLNY
101,615 -----------Dollar volume
8,808,579----------Share volume
49-----------------Amt of trades
looked at companies DLNY makes a market in, when he was the ax, and things in common with GOIG
http://www.otcmarkets.com/market-maker-dir?mmId=DLNY
It's worth a look to see the companies DLNY makes a market in. Note when he is/was the ax, and volume compared to "normal".
Also worth noting the the companies that have "degrees of separation" with GOIG.
I believe DLNY is a market maker that dumps shares for companies so what your saying would be correct.
"Don't know who the market maker DLNY is, but when he sits on a price with GOIG. WE SIT THERE! DLNY did this same crap back in the middle of Nov.
So keep an eye on him, to see him move.
"
"Your conclusions were all wrong"

no no 100 clients each with 10,000 minutes/day that's 1 million minutes/day or 30M minutes/month billed at .04 for starters.
Places like Geico do around 150,000 toll free minutes/day.
Banks, like Chase, BOA, do 300,000 toll free minutes/day
I was downplaying it by saying 10,000 because I'm assuming GOIG with 10% market share.
The reality is the toll free arena is roughly $20B/year in the U.S. in total, at about .04/minute. So, this means there are roughly 500 billion toll free minutes used in the U.S. each year or roughly 1.4 billion minutes/day total for all businesses.
In Europe its a $25B/year with the same rates and in Canada its about $2B.
Asia has little data, but obviously one day will be bigger than all of the rest.
As of right now there is a total of about 3 billion toll free minutes billed each day between the U.S. Canada, and Europe.
If GOIG can get a 10% market share, thats 300 million minutes/day billed at xxx
300 million x .01= $3m/day revenue
300 million x .02= $6m/day revenue
300 million x .03= $9m/day revenue
300 million x .04= $12/day revenue
All of my info is public info, you can find what companies like Chase pay each quarter for toll free, just read the fins.
You can check the AT&T fins and see their revenue for toll free, you can check Sprint and Verizon too.
Plus, when you or I use our cell phone to call a toll free 800 number, it takes away from our minutes. If you use GO800 and recieve a call, you don't waste any minutes.
I'm tired, I'll come up with a DD package tomorrow.
If Asia gets added to the toll free mix you can basically double the figures I put above.
GOIG only needs 10% of the global toll free market to become a $15 billion dollar company or so.
Of course, at only 1% of the toll free, GOIG would still be worth $1.5 billion
This pricing model is history. Refer to my other post for your example of 3000 minutes a month.
no no 100 clients each with 10,000 minutes/day that's 1 million minutes/day or 30M minutes/month billed at .04 for starters.
Ok, I'll make it easier. 100 clients times $199 month (Platinum level up to 5,000 minutes per month is $199 per month) is $19,900. Times 12 months is $238,800.
Actually the math as quoted is sound. $14.6 million per year. Not that I care, but the way it's written out is correct.
If your 100 clients averaged 10,000 minutes a day that would be 3,000 minutes a month per client, at $199 per month, that would be $238,800 not 14.6mil a year.
If 100 clients (including some national companies) average 10,000 minutes a day billed, that is 100 x 10,000 x 365 days x .04 cents = $14.6M in revenue.
How about one of their ads showing people how to text their Voice Keyword to 46800.
Someone was putting together a list of all those company ads, not sure what happened.
Some companies that are paying to use it may advertise it.
Very very very good observation! He does not have to give out the NAMES of the companies - just a NUMBER of companies that have signed up.
Cheapest is $29 a month for 300 minutes.
Whats the new? IMO they don't need to charge for keywords, just the minutes....that's what GOIG is about entirely anyway....
A tiered pricing plan may be best, and could get even more revenue if you get regular people signing up for fun.
If they tap into the population and charge fractions of a penny per minute for teens and young adults who want a text prompt as their phone number...could be huge
Understand and agree.
For this particular promotion that's a great way to do it, especially if they undercut pricing a bit. Gotta hookem first
Pricing has changed, this is old.
Note starting 2011 we will be charging .04 per minute for all connected calls.

EXCELLENT!
The PR that said
As participants desire more minutes, they can sign up for silver, gold, and platinum packages. Heavy users, for example, national companies with intense traffic, can choose an enterprise package.
You better double check this dd as well, way off.
In today's PR, you see, the $1.3M deferred for multi year contracts is huge catalyst and why I was referring to Jan 2011 as the start of GOIG.
Assume the $1.3M is over 3 years, that's only $430K/year in rev haha. But what is critical is that the $430k/year translates to maybe 100 clients or so, many of course who will rack up many billable minutes for GOIG.
If 100 clients (including some national companies) average 10,000 minutes a day billed, that is 100 x 10,000 x 365 days x .04 cents = $14.6M in revenue.
You see, the audited fins will have better details, but I'm banking on at least a 10:1 ratio of revenue from billable minutes compared to keyword income, and possibly higher, like 15 or 20:1.
Of course, the $1.3M signed up is just the tip of the iceburg.
This is how GOIG goes exponential in terms of scale in revenue.
Its all about the billable minutes!
When GOIG gets to 1000 clients at that rate and 10,000 clients at that rate is the multi dollar potential....more later...off to starbucks
Double check your dd on this, hint, new pricing.
GOIG is now charging .04/minute, that is their business and revenue/profit driver, not the monthly keyword payment.

Only one company on the planet is offering the technology to immediately connect to a phone number with a SMS message, and they have the patent pending.
Please read about the 30 day wash rule, link below.
Another strategy (too late to do this year and you need additional funds) is to buy the position you are going to take the loss on in November and sell your original position 30 days or more later in December to take the loss. This could be suitable if you do not want to wait 30 days to buy it back in January.
I already did this so I hope it was a good idea. I sold my shares of goig today and I am going to buy them back today. That way I can show a loss for taxes.
I dont trade a lot and I didnt really make money this year but I did click the sell button quite a bit when it was going up and down.
You still have not called me, what's your excuse?
Where are all the updates from the ambassadors? How come they have said a thing?
Hey Mike,
It was the customer that suggested I call the company to confirm. I had (and still have)the information to help him. So, I did not have "to contact the company to find out the same thing".
Ike has had more than one conference call with Ambassadors discussing this.
Sorry I was not clearer. I find it can be difficult to communicate information this way, it's easy to get twisted.
Text ABC to 46800, it's much easier in a real conversation.
What surprised me was the fact that he was told something from the company and you had to contact the company to find out the same thing.
Confirmed
i don't see how that could have happened...
the ambassadors were informed from Ike himself.
It has been and will continue to be communicated to Ambassadors.
We are a big part of it.
Can you explain why the company would completely change it's pricing structure without communicating it to it's Ambassador's? My god, you Ambassador's are our entire sales force. I certainly would have expected that the company would have notified all it's Ambassadors about these changes so they can be informed and increase sales.
allow texting from cellphones with outside area codes to connect within a certain area code boundary or has this all changed?
I've got me phone in my hand as I walk to the train. Text ABC to 46800 and I can answer your questions.
Doone
Yes, it is accurate they scrapped the zip code pricing. But that doesn't matter for you. In fact it will cost you less now then it did with the old pricing.
I would be glad to talk to you about it. Text ABC to 46800.
Doone
I called today and was told they changed from local to global. I want it to be local, but it's not and the person(s) answering the calls were more confused then I was. Call them yourself and ask. If they answer different, please let me know, as I am interested in some keywords in various zip codes in CA. Tia.
My understanding is it will be as local as YOU want it to be.
Why do you think it would not work for your particular market?
Here's my problem with the new system with Twitter. I have a business in CA. but only operate in a few zip codes there. With their new system I can get free keywords on Twitter but they encompass the whole US and Canada. I can't help anyone outside my sphere, so it would seem that this would only be good for large, very large companies. That's a bummer, because making it more local would really work for me and I am sure a lot of others. But it won't work for me and others because of the expanded area covered. If they could work something out with Twitter by zip codes, this could really take off.
Chart I'm looking at showed it happening 12/9 Thursday. (50 crossed the 200)
Also note, closed above the 200 on 10/27 and 20 crossed the 50 on 11/09.
Next resistance is .016 (8/31 open and 12/7 open), then .018 (8/27/close and 9/07 open)
Of course, all IMO
I like it, good luck all!
I'm also interested to see what happens after we get that golden cross. Should be any day now?
Wow! Where would this go on a 5 million share volume day?! Barely over 600k shares traded. They must really be in trouble.
is that a free, live, L2.??, thanks Doone
:o) hey doone. i have not, but will try. text REVERSE MERGER to 46800
Hey dolphin have tried to text LOCN to 46800?
Read Thomas L. Friedman's book The World is Flat.
Everybody should read it.
GOIG just took an interest in a company generating $109 in a three month period.......
I undertsand the benefit for the Add-On Exchange beneficiaries -- they get an outlet to easily monetize (sell) their 100,000,000 GOIG shares to GOIG investors. I don't really understand the financial benefit to GOIG.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
And you're doing exactly what Ike is asking you to do?
