This 'Jingle' is a new one to me. Unforch, verizon is exactly like M$ in that

as a 2 bit company, they can't stand one bit of competition, so the user

confirmation emails from most of the SIP servers are filtered to /dev/null by

their servers.  I have signed up for several, and never received the

confirming email.  That can't be just a co-incidence...
