You beat me to, I was just about to post this, but searched first and saw you already had. (People do sometimes read the "Forum Rules" and follow rule #7)

I signed up for SunRocket about two weeks ago on a similar promotion. Signed up online on a Saturday, had the hardware by Tuesday. Took less than 15 minutes to set-up and activate.

Sound quality is no different than my old SBC/AT&T landline. They recommend using cordless phones, but if you disconnect your old incoming phone line at your "network interface" (where the outside wires enter your home) and plug a phone wire from their unit to any phone jack, your old corded phones will work. Make sure you wrap electrical tape around the disconnected network interface phone wire plug and put a note in there saying don't reconect, otherwise a phone company technician could mess things up. Has enough power to make two or three corded phones ring, but if you have more extensions than that might have problems.

I'm in process now of transfering my old landline phone number, and they also give you one additional phone number. It's not a second line, just a second number that rings to your same phone. What good is this? The second number can be from almost anywhere in the country. So while I live in Ohio, I've chosen a second number in Florida, so my parents can call me as a local call. Could also set this up for kids away at college (though that would just make it easier for them to phone home and ask for money ;) ) First extra number is free, more are $3/month each.

Some people have conerns about how 911 works with this, looks like there may be a two to four week perios where your address might not read thorugh to an Enhanced 911 service.

They also recommend avoiding this service If you have alarm systems or TiVo.

Looks like all the VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocal) providers are fighting for market share. Vonage ads are all over the TV offering a similar service for $24.99 per month. Sunrocket seems to have decided to use price as their marketing strategy.

:bigok: :bigok:
 
I have or have tried four different VOIP services. CallVantage, Vonage, Lingo, and another Zingo. Let me say that there is a HUGE difference between services. The Zingo unit was under $10 month.... let me say that I would not go with zingo for free. It was worse than horrible. It took three weeks for them to issue me an RMA... That is an example of the service they provide. CallVantage gives me the best voice quality, but Vonage is our favorite overall. With crazy people suing over E911.... CallVantage now makes listen to a recording each time the adapter looses it's signal to the Internet. That makes sending a fax ugly and time consuming. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to make the change... be careful ;)

Of all the info I found with comparison... I found this Cnet review to be a great place to start. Review


Heads up folks.... before you replace your land line... make sure you will be happy with your new service first. My family has never forgiven me for moving our home number over to Lingo. Now it's over $100 to move it back.
 
How does it work? First of all you'd have to have a regular phone service line, plus DSL on top of that, plus the cost of this service. Doesn't that add up?
 
Good point.

VOIP deals work best for people with Cable Broadband.

If you use DSL, most phone companies require you to keep a landline as well.

However, if you make a lot of long distance calls, you still could come out money ahead - If you get the phone company's most basic phone service, add DSL then VOIP and use VOIP for "toll calls".

I don't know anyone who's used DSL for their VOIP, but since it's a smaller bandwidth sound quality may suffer, particularly if doing file downloads on your PC at same time.

If you are still using dial-up, forget about it
 
Lately sunrocket doesn't have the webchat with customer service and i am having some adapter issues with sound quality and they are trying to pass the blame to my 5mbps/385kbps cable broadband for the state of affairs not to mention that lately international calls are difficult to go through. Its good to call within the US/Canada but I agree with a previous post, Callvantage ATT is best customer service, but unfortunately high priced. Sunrocket's voicemail is a pain to deal with, usually most voicemails have "3" or "7" to delete message, "2" to Save. these dudes have "2" and more often than not in the beginning, I pressed "2" to save only to realize the message was deleted. they need to standardize their voicemail and speed up its response time.

If you are using dial-up, you must be from the Stone Age of internet.

Keep in mind that many people still either can't get high-speed, or can't afford it, or both. I can't get dsl in my neighborhood unless I pay $150 a month for a 384k business line. The quality of cable internet isn't much better than dial-up because the cables are from 1985 and squirrels have made meals of them. At $45 a month, I'd rather stay with my dial-up. If I need a high-speed connection for downloads, I'll either go to the library or stay after-hours at work. :tongue:

Don't they have Netzero for $10?

I think what cusslerfan was saying is that it's $45 for high speed. That is the price we pay for country living ;) A bad DSL conection at $45 -vs- dial up at $10.... If your not on alot, $35 is not really worth it for slightly better connection.
 
I think the $45 price is refering to squirrel inflicted cable.

I knew something I said would be confused. :confused: $45 is what high-speed goes for. I can get cheap dial-up for about $7 a month through the local library system. The problem is that the connection is "iffy" at best.

They're upgrading the cables and burying the lines (supposedly) this fall, so I'll have to wait until then to get high-speed so I can sit and watch my posterior grow even larger. The only problems I've run into with VOIP is an echo effect, especially during "peak" times, where the data rate drops from everyone else on the network downloading things. This is using my brothers' lines. One is Vonage. The other, I think, is Verizon. Other than that, the quality is pretty nice.

Yes, you are right, I am just referring to people who have highspeed as a slightly higher priced alternative to the AOL-Ripoff but still are loyal to them. Their reasoning is that most folks have their AOL ids. Well, I'd say that if "those folks" haven't been in touch for more than a year or so, are you gonna wait for their email to turn up and tell them you've moved on?
anyways, SunRocket customer service is a nightmare if you ever need to use it. And nightmare is a good word. I think whosoever designed their customer support problem escalation system had an IQ of a mole.
 
Don't worry about loosing AOL user ID/email address if you cancel AOL.

I canceled and they converted all five of my AOL paid account addresses to no cost AIM addresses.
 
TODAY ONLY!!! Two years of VoIP phone service for $199 with Sunrocket

No free phones with today's special though. But who cares, I think any cordless phone will work with their system.

I've been with them for a year, my account was about to expire, so I called them up today about their new-customer deal and asked if I could get it. I got hooked up!

http://www.sunrocket.com/

And I won't say no if you ask me for my phone number to refer me. :)

My favorite things about them:
Unlimited calling to US, Canada, PR
First $3 worth of international calls per month is FREE
No cancellation fees
No strings
Excellent customer service

Sorry, gnosis, but if you think they have excellent customer service then you aren't using SunRocket. I like SunRocket, but the customer service is lacking to say the least.
 
Deal was back, but only for first 1000 new customers. Looks like now it's back to 3 free months.

Sunrocket's practice has been to run the buy one year, get one free promo for very brief periods of time (hours, not days) around "holidays" such as Father's day, July 4, Memorial Day, Easter.

If you are interested, I'd recommend checking their site regualrly and next time you see it, jump on it.

Had service three months now, as reliable as Ohio Bell was at 1/3 the price.

My sister was impressed when I did a three way call between her and our brother in MN, had music on hold while I connected the third line in.
