I'm thinking seriously of signing up for this, at least for the 30 day trial to, well, try it out.

I know that they have referral points and promo codes. If you have SR and want me to get you some referral points, send me a private message.

Also, if you have any promo info, let me know. I haven't gone over to the Broadbandreports.com or FatWallet to see what promos I can find.

You can sign up for the year $199 deal-and if you decide to cancel they refund you prorated.
I am going to SR soon, but have put a client on it--and they do fine with it--it is nice to dial a contact from your computer--and it rings your phone when it connects.
Make sure you get the deal with the free phones--there seems to be a new deal coming out that is a Wifi phone-sorry--I searched--can't find the info now---It was either a wifi phone or travel router.
Hope someone here can use your referral!

Nope, don't have it. I'd prefer not to have system-wide phone outages for hours at a time:

I do have VOIP, but with a different provider.

I've had SunRocket for about 4 months now. I've had no serious problems other than an outage that lasted a couple of hours one day. There are other minor things I encounter once in a great while like an echo feedback of my own voice, nothing major.

Our avaerage phone bill before SunRocket was around $150, so for $199 a year I can live with the little problems SunRocket has.

I'd only reccomend VOIP service to someone who is comfortable with computers and electronics.

I've had it for something close to a year. At first it was spotty, outages every week or so for a couple hours. Of late it's been rather stable. Sometimes you have to dial twice to connect. bfd.
With a land line in the house for b.u. and a cell, I don't worry.
But by using my land line only for incoming I put SR on line without increasing my monthly fone bill, rather I've decreased it by a few buck a month, average.
I've used it (unsupported) overseas, NP, though now I'd use my Skype acct. It sounds as good as Skype, though perhaps not as good as VZN.
The free Uniden phones are very good, though tiny for my hands. I wish they had more and larger memory storage.
I'd do it again.

never do yesterday or today what you can put off til tomorrow or next year.

I have it, there have been many headaches, and I'm thinking about cancelling. Of course YMMV.

My biggest problem is that they promise number portability. Well, I am in month 5 now and they still have not ported my old LL number over.

I had horrible quality problems when it first started. It turns out that SR is very finicky about your cable modem. Succinctly: Toshibas don't work, Motorolas generally do. Tech support was clueless. If you have an Airport home network, you are strictly on your own configuring the setup.

For the first month or two, I generally had to shut down any internet intensive activity while using the phone. I had to disconnect internet radio and make sure that I was not downloading any large files.

Lately, the quality has been excellent. The echos are gone, and I don't recall any significant outages.

I'm paying a fortune for cell service, so I don't need my LL phone. However, I want to keep my LL number that I've had for years. With both, I'm not saving any money, and I can make long distance calls with my cell. So, chances are that I will give it up unless they complete the number port very soon.

corse, that link says SR has 25k scribers. At 25k x $200, they're a long way from survival, I'd think.

But look how broke Sirius and XM are. Whoda thunk?

Pehaps Ford, GM, SR, XM and Sirius should merge.....

What do you all use for internet connections? Cable modem? I want to disconnect my landline if I use VoIP...however, with DSL, you need a piggy back phone number.

All I ever really needed to know, I learned from watching Star Trek.

I use cable to connect.

I have SR for about 2 months now.

I think it's great.

You can get one of 2 promos - either 12 months and the free 2 Uniden phones, or an extra 3 months, for 15 total. About $13.50/mo. The VOIP adapter is free.

$3/mo international call credit is also included, and there are 41 "destinations" (30 countries and 11 cities) that are 3 cents per minute.

You can install the VOIP adapter between the modem and router, or behind the router. Supposedly the second is better, but I did it the first, per the instructions. Haven't seen any degradation.

I haven't experienced any outages.

Sometimes I have to dial twice.

Good luck,

Cary
