Japanese content provider Faith, Inc. is launching an exclusive MVNO in the US. Voce will launch by offering unlimited flat rate service to the rich and famous in New York and Los Angeles using Cingular's network. For a $1500 sign up fee and $500 per month, Voce will offer their subscribers unlimited voice and data, personalized live service, and new, exclusive handsets every 4 months. Voce hopes to expand to the US's top 10 markets by the end of next year, and may also expand their carrier partners to include T-Mobile and Sprint.

VOCE VS. DOLLAR BILLS
Hey scoopers,
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 (blackjack I am proud to say), select a realistic service 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.

what a waste.
Why Cingular? Frankly it doesn't seem like their EDGE service can match EV-DO for coverage area and speed - and being a content provider, you'd think that they'd go with EV-DO since the big Japanese carriers already have experience with it (one of the most innovative, KDDI's AU service, is EV-DO based). It would at least make the hardware easier to bring over to the US - even though NTT uses W-CDMA, not their entire lineup is W-CDMA based yet...
Hmm. Might be interesting. I don't think it'll work out though...

Did you not read that Cingular has upgraded to UMTS and HSDPA!? I think Cingular is doing just fine without CDMA Technology.
...
Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?
Hahaha, the advertisin' campaign fo' this service should be funny as hell. 😁
Da sad thing is, I think there IS a market fo' a luxury MVNO, but the prices they are chargin' are too outrageous even for that.

The people theyre aiming for look at 500 dollars a month like its nothing, hell dinner costs more than that, and please do pass the Grey Poupon.
Again with the carrier selection
First Radio Shack, and now Voce. The trend is to move toward cingular for your carrier needs. Sprint is also doing well with Helio, qwest, cox, timewarner, comcat, turner, and plenty of regional carriers (and radio shack also sells sprint) I guess Verizon is out of it again

Most expensive service ever!
who would ever pay a $1500 activation fee, or a $500 montly fee unless you used more than 6000 minutes/month (which u can get for $200 plus a $36 activation for the same service)
I guess the "exclusive content" is what drives the price up. That, and the 4-month upgrades.
Besides, anyone who can afford it will probably pay for it.

This service is for people who can afford such service. If you don't understand it, you can't afford it.
And I'm right in the same boat with you.

hmm... think they're hiring?
got to be one hell of a commision structure... sell 2-3 services a month and you're set... I wonder how millionaires respond to hawking?
I'm game. Where do I drop my resume?
