I didn't read the page, but it isn't FUD; this is how they have handled every other upgrade in the past. I'm glad that they chose to change their mind on this one.

This probably means they're about to release a new version that you'll have to pay full price to upgrade to. They do this every time they're about to release a new version. I find LastPass premium a much better value. You give up a little c

It uses Crowdtilt to process payments, which takes 2.5%. Although the wording of the statement isn't crystal clear; they may charge the people wishing to contribute an extra 2.5%? Regardless, 2.5% gets skimmed off for payment processing. h

You guys should make a "Google Voice replacement" plan that is just one line and no grouping but more generous with texts & minutes. I'd pay for it but you guys don't have a plan that is anywhere near this model.

That is exactly what T-Mobile offers; all of these prices do not include a device (you can purchase one on installments.) The pricing is higher, but other than that, it's basically the same shebang and T-Mobile doesn't have a profit-margin
