Now Luxury MVNO Voce Halves Its Price
Just after ESPN closes up shop, Voce (the luxury MVNO targeted at the stupidly wealthy) has halved its prices, now going for a start-up cost of $500 and a monthly plan of $200. Roy Kosuge, Voce’s senior vice president, said that “the MVNO had done studies which gave them “great results” on how much people were willing to pay, but the real world reflected a different story”… which sounds like the results weren’t that excellent, if excellence equals accuracy. Perhaps the biggest draw for the service is the 24/7 service center, which boasts that it can handle any request — there are some examples in the article.

Voce is no good, sorry. Bottom line, you are stuck with the phone they choose, unlimited minutes you are paying through the nose for and will most probably never use and a personal assistant that works at the same call center that answers your 411 calls.
I'd rather use my own phone, select a realistic phone plan and only pay $36.95 a month to be a member of a professional concierge company like Red Butler (http://www.RedButler.com) of which I am currently a member. They are also 24/7, travel wherever I go and I can submit requests over the phone, online or even by email. It just ticks me off to see companies like Voce try to stick it to consumers who don't know better.

It appears that Cameron failed arithmetic as he neglected to calculate in the cost of a cellular phone plan. $36.95 is the cost for Red Butlers concierge service. Try adding $69.99 for a decent cell phone plan.
