Not sure this is the right place to be advertising this? I don't know how many OzBargainers are maxotel customers, I'm certainly not.
Can you put "Maxotel customers only" in the title, so that I know to ignore it?
Ta.
The WP plan is only $5/month - PROMO CODE: WHIRLPOOL

You should make it avail to users from ozbargain too..
You have already advertised on your own dedicated thread on another forum, I don't know that you need to come running over here as well.
Change the title of the thread to indicate how LIMITED this deal is.
What's the postage?
Express post - 16.50 for all except C47H which is $9.95
The reason I posted it here is because it is an incredible bargain, even for people who aren't MaxoTel members, it'd cost them $5 extra to sign up to MaxoTel first.
I'm in the market for a couple of these handsets to go with an existing base station. But I'm negging this because it's for existing Maxotel customers only and it doesn't say that in the title. And shipping is extra, and it doesn't mention THAT either.
Oh, and no combined shipping? At $9.95 per handset? Pah!
@alexr: I fully agree with bohn.
Prices do seem quite decent, I paid $60 for a C47H and $120 for a C475IP (same as C470IP but also has hardware answerphone) about 2-3 years ago. Quite decent kit for home use.
Shipping is, as ever, a tad steep. Especially no combined.
Shopbot shows the cheapest C47H at $68.95 + $15 postage ($83.95). Ours is $39 + $9.95 = $48.95 in total (And it is express postage!).
$35.00 saving for MaxoTel-Customers. If you sign up with MaxoTel on the WP $5 plan just to purchase this, then it is still a $30 saving.
We want you to try out VoIP, that's why we've got these crazy bargains… (The C470IP is discounted $65.95, The Yealink discounted $50, the Linksys SPA525G discounted over $100 - these are all well below cost).
Re: Shipping - Everything is sent out in Express bags. We can only fit one of the Yealink or SPA525G in the 5KG bags, and 1 C470IP in the 3kg bags, and 1 c47h in the 500g bags.
Our shopping cart software isn't able to determine the correct shipping for what CAN fit multiple in a bag. Limit of 1 per customer so that people don't come in and scoop the lot from competing companies.
OK, I understand why you can't combine shipping, but a 3kg Express Post bag costs between $10.53 and $11.70 depending on how many you buy*, which is what I presume you're using? You're charging $16.50 for shipping a C470IP.
And I don't WANT to sign up for a VOIP plan today - even at $5 - as I already have 2 quite adequate plans through 2 of your competitors. I'm sure many fellow OzBargainers would also already have VOIP.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a GREAT bargain but I think you need to think a bit more creatively if you want to sell a stack of these via OzBargain.
[edit: typo]
We also charge $16.50 also for the SPA525G and the Yealink, and the C470IP Dual Pack and C470IP Triple Pack, yet the 5KG bags cost more than that. It is basically our flat-rate Aust-wide express shipping fee, except for the smaller items like C47H.
IF you only ship one item per bag etc. then it would have looked better to have just included the P&P in the price of the item, as it would still look like a good price… and would have kept us all from moaning about your P&P costs :)
In fact as you want this to drum up interest in your VOIP services I would have sold it as a complete combined package, seeing as we have to sign up anyway… ie Siemens C470IP + 1 month unlimited VOIP tarrif $XX.XX including shipping… or something similar.
price is decent for C470lP but $5 to join plus shipping is not the deal for me
The WP Promo plan isn't bad value. I've pasted it from WP.

‘MaxoTel Customer’ defined as being on a VoIP Plan with at least $5.00 credit.
so, yes.
Yep - Just make sure you've got at least $5 credit in your account.
Have the prices been updated yet? It's still showing the usual prices.
Prices are updated
Updating now
Sorry, MaxoTime is GMT+10+10mins ;)
(It has been updated)
Woohoo, bought and paid for =D
Looking forward to my new handset.
20 mins left (It'll go til 2.10 becasue we started a little late)
Thanks Guys, everything ordered today will be expressed. Check your mailbox tomorrow!
Also.. if you want people to try your voip etc.. you think you could've given greater than a one hour window for people to purchase this stuff?
This post is all cryptic to me. It would be helpful to describe what all these things are that you're selling. Also I doubt you'll find many existing customers here.
:( i am in need of a few and i missed this dammit!
There was a limit of one per person, so you could've only bought 1 even if you HAD seen it yesterday :(
