With the recent demise of SunRocket, I was forced to switch VoIP providers in a pinch. My wife and I did some quick research and had narrowed it down to a few companies that provided features and price comparable to what SunRocket had offered. Since we take advantage of the free long distance and free roaming on our cell phones, having a home phone is not critical – it’s just nice to not have to worry about low batteries and lost signals once in a while. For that reason, we wanted an affordable (read: low price) service. The major VoIP players charge way too much, as do the cable providers. In the end, one company stood above all the rest when it came to the features and the price they offered. Unfortunately, with all the SunRocket customers heading for the same handful of companies, nobody can keep up. After a couple weeks of unreliable service, we’re now faced with our old phone number not yet transfered to our new provider. This means people calling us get a “SunRocket is out of busines” recording.

Turns out there would have been a lot less aggravation if we simply handed out tin cans and ran string to our friend’s houses.
