Rewards/Partners
by Matt Stephens full story | top |
|
Blue Mountain Internet strives to provide the best of services to our customers. One way we achieve this is to offer you a reward for referring new customers to BMI. This is how it works. Tell your friends and family about the great service you get at BMI. When they sign up for new service we ask them how they heard about us. They tell us that you sent them and presto - you receive a $5 credit on your account. Refer just three people a month and your account for that month is easily paid. We also have a program called Partners. This is a group of computer retailers that strive for the same level of customer service that we do. We greatly rely on you, our customer for information about the businesses that you feel put your needs first. Please tell us which computer businesses meet or exceed your expectations. We want to develop relationships with those businesses. Our partner relationships will give you an extra layer of support when you have problems with your computer. Sort of like your regular doctor (BMI) sending you to a specialist doctor. Please forward your referrals or questions about our partners to: partnersprogram@bmi.net | |

If it successfully finds the modem and gets a response from it, the computer tells your modem to dial your internet service provider's number (ISP). Then you will hear dialing. The ISP's access number is answered by a modem... - CONTINUED | |
