SunRocket ceases, Vonage fights for the scaps

July 17, 2007
To no one's surprise, SunRocket has ceased operations. Vonage certainly didn't waste any time in putting on their vulture cap to pick at the carcass of SunRocket. While I think it is smart marketing for Vonage to go after SunRocket's customers, I can't help but have this "icky" feeling. It's like going to a funeral and a family member starts telling you about this great business opportunity he wants you to join. Give the dead a day of peace. There is always tomorrow. Anyway, according to today's news release:
Vonage is offering a way for SunRocket customers to transition their phone number over to Vonage, and also receive the added benefit of two months free service. Customers receive this benefit when they sign up for the U.S. Residential Premium Unlimited Plan. Upon request, potential customers can rest easy knowing qualified phone numbers can be transferred over to Vonage and expedited at no charge. Vonage offers over 25 features at no additional cost, such as call forwarding, call waiting, call transfer, and the ability to keep your number for life. Vonage also offers a free device after instant rebate. SunRocket customers interested in this offer can receive more information by calling 800-833-4806.

    Sunrocket going out of business, not so surprising, but I do feel a bit sorry for the 200,000 or so customers of Sunrocket who will lose their service.

    Would suggest that they take a look at the magicJack www.magicjack.com, the calls with this device have the best quality I have ever experienced and it is also the easiest device to install and start using. The best thing is that all you pay for is the device and you are up and running and can make local and long distance calls for free. No monthly fees and no bills.

    As many have heard, sunrocket went out of business in the last 24 hours
    shutting off phones of everyone (at least according to the ny times). My
    phone got shut down this morning too with sunrocket so I was forced to find
    a new company, and just found one an hour ago with this small company called
    Voiceral. Looks like they have been in busines a few years, and have some
    positive press and the thing that hooked me was the special deal for
    sunrocket customers who have to switch due to sunrocket going out of
    business. Seemed like a good deal with free priority shipping upgrade for
    sunrocket switchers, with a waived activation fee. I will post later to let
    you know how it goes. The special offer was
