Teleblend is the biggest nightmare in my life for last 4 months (since Aug 2007). I transfered my SunRocket account to Teleblend in hurry - a big mistake. From day one (and till today) I am not able to receive INCOMING CALLS. I have created at least 8 tickets about them and they were closed without any resolution and letting me know about it. AUTO PAY option at web-site is another mistake. I can't change AUTO PAY option using their web-sites. I have called Customer/Tech support several times and had to hang up after 30+ minutes waiting. I have reached twice after waiting 45+ minutes. Both support calls didn't solve my not-receiving-incoming-calls problem. After getting frustrated for 3 months with Teleblend switched to another VOIP service and after a month Teleblend is still not porting my number to switched carrier. Meanwhile, their AUTO PAY bill option is charging me automatically per month. I just tried to submit ticket about removing AUTO PAY option their web-site crashed now at »www.myteleblend.net/billcenter.n···ons.aspx
Current Auto Bill Status: Enrolled
I mean Teleblend is not even product. Any product should go through basic quality assurance test before putting it in market. Teleblend hasn't even done that.
Conclusion: Run away from Teleblend or Help to shut it down

I guess that I am one of the few that have had a decent experience with Teleblend. I had dropouts in service in the first few weeks, but lately the service has been great.
I noticed today that they have finally moved the account management from sunrocket.com to teleblend.com. Although, now you have two login links on their page one to the dippy teleblend account manager and the other to a modified version of the Sunrocket account manager.
I haven't had any experience with tech support so I'll rate them at 50%.
I'm still in the wait-and-see camp for now.

I have 2 numbers so it adds up.
$3 international call credit disappears mythically. Got charge for that promised $3 credit. Scam!
All calls went to black hole, and online tickets never reply and closed directly. I can't make calls (as of Oct. 2, 2007) for a week, can't get a person to talk. VERY FRUSTRATED. Stay AWAY I just learned they are closing again in 3 month.

My service never worked properly. Callers were disconnected after a few seconds. Requests for help received automated responses or a notice that my issue had been escalated.
I ported away, but TB took back my numbers. While I was waiting to permanently port away, incoming callers heard a disconnect message.
When I called tech support, the representatives were unable to evaluate problems. Instead, tech support entered tickets. I don't believe I received a response to any of these tickets. In contrast, the billing department was able to issue a refund and cancel my account.
Update: I spoke too soon. I had two accounts with TB. After I canceled, I was charged for another month of service on one account. Also, the refunds I received last month due to a lack of service were added to the invoices of each account. In addition, a "Loyalty Discount" of $6.48 was added to the bill on one account.
When I called billing, I was told that someone would call back in a couple of hours. Obviously, nobody called. I disputed the charge with AMEX.
Update 2: TB canceled my accounts and refunded my payments.

I was a Sunrocket Customer who chose to go to Teleblend as the easiest way to continue VOIP phone service when Sunrocket decided to terminate service. Packet8 was also suggested by Sunrocket but new hardware was required. Later I learned that
Teleblend paid for this recommendation.
I created two accounts on 7/19/07 and my phones continued to work until 8/04/07 when Sunrocket pulled all their hardware. To date, twenty-four days (24 days) later, I have been without any incoming call capabilities and intermittent outgoing capabilities. Multiple service calls (trouble tickets) have been logged and to this date NOT ONE RETURN CALL FROM ANYONE AT TELEBLEND has been provided.
Their Customer Service Reps range from helpful to rude but the bottom line is that no one has any information to provide about any open ticket. The standard reply is that they will log another call, and/or mark it urgent and someone with call back. THAT CALL NEVER COMES!!!. No escalation process is available above logging a trouble ticket. Supervisors on duty are also taking and logging trouble tickets. Management above that level is not available.
Teleblend had no problem billing me for month two on each account 8/18/07 even though they had not provided promised services to that date. Again, calls were logged to request a refund, yet to date, no refund has been provided on either account. I am still waiting for someone to call me back about that as well.
Today have decided to try another VOIP company and attempted to reach two. I was one hold for 30+ minutes for one and hung up and was on hold again attempting to reach a second. Finally I decided to call Verizon to re-activate my COPPER phone lines. The Customer Service Rep, answered quickly, was helpful, re-opened my accounts, provided a cost competitive package and told me that the PORTIING of my number would occur in 9 days. Of course, they tried to pitch the Verizon FIOS but I
advised them for the moment, I just wanted working phones. I have already made tentative plans to make the Verizon FIOS move in December.....
Goodbye Teleblend VOIP, Hello Verizon........GLAD TO BE BACK!!
Today, Aug 31th is the 27th day with no change in service, NO RETURN CALLS FROM TELEBLEND and hopefully, only 6 days left before I reconnect with Verizon......
Today, Sept 1st is the 28th day with no change in service, YES, the beginning of week 5. To date NO RETURN CALLS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM TELEBLEND and hopefully, only 5 days left before I reconnect with Verizon copper......
DAY 30 (SEPT 3rd) and NO CALLS FROM TELEBLEND.... I can't believe that any company would fail to contact a customer with outstanding issues if for no reason but to provide a progress report. There is NO PROGRESS here, TELEBLEND has failed to provide the promised services and their lack of response proves that they just don't care!
Only 3 days until Verizon picks my numbers back up and hopefully working phones again......
Today, Sept 5th, Verizon contacted me today to advise me that Teleblend has been NON-RESPONSIVE to their requests to PORT my phone numbers back to them. Not surprising for a company who has not contacted me in 33 days not to respond to this request as well. I have again contacted Teleblend and spoke to a Supervisor, Greg who assured me that he would follow-up. I believe this will again fall in to the same TELEBLEND BLACK HOLE but hope for the best. Verizon has moved the install date another week...... Sept 12th will be the 40th day in Teleblend hell....
HAPPY DAYS ARE HEAR AGAIN!! After 40 days and 52 days respectively, I am completely back on Verizon Copper with my two original phone numbers. I do have plans to move to Verizon FIOS in the near future. Expect for some Auto Billing and Refund issues still pending with Teleblend, I am out of there!!
If you are considering Teleblend, read, read, read before making a move to them. Although many customers state they have had acceptable service, many more have not and I am one of those. Good Luck To ALL!

When SunRocket went out, I wasn't sure who to go with and wanted to do some research first.
While researching, I found the admin password for my Linksys device. I was thrilled I could log in and change my setting. Unfortunately, I didn't change my password, because I didn't foresee TeleBlend purchasing SR's servers or info. Well, as most people know, TeleBlend changed the admin passwords for the devices. I see as them breaking into my house and changing the locks.
I called them, and they refuse to give it up, probably because they believe they'd lose custormers if people can reprogram their VOIP gizmos.
Well, my wife was jumping all over me for home service, and I felt that they had a good price for SR refugees, so even though I was pissed that they broke into my box and changed the password I signed up.
The service is CONSTANTLY dropping and their support is horrible.
I'm glad I went month to month.
AVOID TELEBLEND at all costs!!! I'm looking at ViaTalk or BroadVoice.

I took their bait of signing on with their advertised promise of seamless transfer from Sunrocket as I needed to keep my current number. I wish I had known they were using the old Sunrocket equipment as it's been down more than up. I have had Teleblend for almost a month now and there is not a single day that the service was completely not working or the incoming and voicemails do not work.
I'd give them a 3 for Ease of Installation of the ATA, It was a BYOD from Sunrocket, haha 
It's fine if you expect no one to call you and if you never need to make a call when you need to I suppose. Support is also poor if that was in question at this point.

Still no incoming or outgoing calls, no call forwarding either...no response from tech support. Only toll-free calls are working....:( this is really bad. Any suggestions?
8/9/2007
Ok....again no incoming calls again......but call forwarding is working...outgoing calls saying "sunrocket service has been disconnected..." after I've already paid the monthly fee for Teleblend....:(
Why is it so hard to run this business?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
I switched from SR to Teleblend, and now I've no incoming calls, only outgoing. Call forwarding is not working either. I now regret going with Teleblend.
