    I believe they have departments that call brand new customers and customers that have items renewing in their account. I heard a story from a friend of a guy who bought a $50k Lexus at a dealership. The same day he bought an $8.95 domain name from Godaddy. Two days later he got a call from Godaddy thanking him for his business. The guy was astonished that somebody would call him and thank him for spending $9, when he just bought a $50k car and they could care a less. LOL.

    But yea I dont think any other registrar that does this sort of thing. Pretty good service if you ask me.

    Nope, I don't think they'd call overseas & I wouldn't want them to call me either! I will make up my own mind if I stay with them or not

    they called me before but not for renewal, just to check up and see how I am doing, since I buy alot of domains through them :). That's why I love godaddy.com :)

    there customer service is ok; you can get someone on the phone within the time frame that is quoted. If there's calling to renew, that surprises me b/c they must sell thousands a day. why spend time getting people to renew?

    I'm not from USA. First time they call me and I hang up because I didn't recognize the number. Second time I received the phone. He explained me that I might forget to renew some domain and some other non domain products as my auto renew is always off. Also he told me if I renew by phone now he will give me special price which I will not get from the website. The total price for 3 years renew was around 700 dollar but he gave me around 500 dollars.

    It's just Godaddy's salespeople/client retention team trying not to lose you as a customer & sell you some addon products
