Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Impressive features - faulty website
Review: I like this product in general, especially for its search features. While you can search from 115 million listing, you can export only a maximum of 2000 addresses - more exports are available at an additional charge (how much I don't know).

When registering I encountered several crashes, but after at least three tries and the update downloaded from the web, I got my access code.

The registration for the included CD-ROM "Business Credit Ratings USA" failed completely, because access to the website used to enter the registration information is "Forbidden (Error#403) which of course is somewhat lunatic. Trying to contact TechSupport regarding this problem I encountered a faulty link.

Summary:

Usefull, although "freshness" of data is not stated, could have better web-site based support and TechSupport and allow for a larger number exportable addresses.

Summary: Good Gone Bad
Review: I used to use Select Phone for years to prepare mailing lists. Now, every time I purchase the "upgrade" it gets worse. The product was once user friendly and was great for producing mailing lists. Now it's riddled with pop-up ads and is cumbersome to use. The software was supposed to allow me save 2000 profiles but it only was enabled to do 500. After calling tech support I still couldn't get the profiles. Most firewalls prevent you from getting additional profiles. Needless to say it was a huge waste of time ordering this software. I am returning it. By the way, if you register the software and then cancel they will hound you for months to re-order. I asked them on multiple occasions to stop calling me.

Summary: Pro Phone Stink Now
Review: sounds like they got a little greedy and that's that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: New Greedy Version Destroys Value
Review: This new version requires you to buy every address you print out beyond the first 2000. This drastically reduces the value of the program. Frankly, it's marketed in a very sneaky way because they don't make it very clear you're going to be buying these names until you open the box. They need to go back to the old version with unlimited use.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Review: This product is effectively worthless! The whole point to buying telephone numbers is to export them, lots of them, for marketing purposes but "Select Phone Pro" - which used to make this possible - now only allows you to download a paltry 500 without paying a constant surcharge for your next 500 by buying these silly "profiles". The value of 500 numbers is pretty inconsequential to me and I suspect, anyone who is likely to buy this product. Frankly, you're much better off sending your lists to a phone number supplier or simply looking up the numbers on the net for free. Worst of all, there is no indication on the packaging from "Select Phone Pro" that buying the product does not entitle you to the full use of it - really pretty shameful and misleading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best and easy to use program for marleting by mail
Review: When starting a new business we purchased Select Phone, our business grew so fast it was unreal, we tried to do fliers on doors and it was a ton of work but with Select Phone we were able to target areas and mail the fliers, we turned a small buiness (landscaping and lawn care) into a 50,000. a year business the 1st year all due to the fliers we mailed out. People toss stuff placed on their door so when mailed they get attention and at least read by the homeowners. We used a program to design post card size mailers in bright colors and we with the help of Select Phone helping us obtain addresses we got a great responce, try it what have you got to lose.
Thanks so much,
Jill Kruep
