Hi all,
I finally got tired of paying $50-$80 per month to SBC and started
the process of trying VOIP with SunRocket. It takes several weeks
to port our old number so I will let you know how it worked out
later. Your old number continues to work until they actually
complete the transfer at which time they email you. So, hopefully
there will be no down time on the number.
It "looks" like a sweet deal on the surface ........ The cost is $199
for 1 year if you prepay. That comes to $16.58/month for the
math challenged. All the bells and whistles are available at no
extra cost and the fee covers unlimited local and long distance
minutes plus $3 /mo free for international calls. While waiting
for your old number to be ported, they give you a temporary
number. When the port is complete, the temporary number
becomes a secondary number at no extra cost. You can even
select the area code of the secondary phone to be in the same
area code as your mom, for example, so that calls to you from that
location look like local calls to the caller.
Let me know if you have had and experience with VOIP .... good
or bad.
Cheers,
Charlie
