I'm sure they could auction it there! Maybe they could sell it to some techs that could figure it out.

| outages
ironically, I've never experienced a service outage in relation to Vonage. There was a time when BellSouth upgraded their database in the switch and it screwed up my Vonage for about 7 days, but that was a BellSouth issue.
However, I bet they are tired of the headaches and the bad press on 911 service (although mine works, because I called it and got my local 911 dispatch).
It would be funny if they merged with Sunrocket and and became VonRocket or Sunage.

Re: ebay
That would be nice and maybe adopt some of their pricing. its taking me > 7 wks to transfer my number from vonage. At least i can use their line to call Japan for half the price of Vonage! Vonage lower you rates and I wouldn't have had to switch. Reliability is good for me and many other family/friends on various internet connections (Charter, Comcast, Verizon) |

Perhaps SunRocket could get a loan to fund a purchase? And then turn Vonage into SunRocket.
I could see that:
Dear Vonage Subscribers,
My name is [whoever] and I am the [x] of SunRocket, and we would like to welcome you as SunRocket subscribers.
You now have lower rates, more features, blah blah blah
Thank you,

Ditto for me. Any outages I've had on my Vonage service were always the fault of my Comcast cable modem crapping out. (well, not the modem itself per se, but rather the service beyond the modem) Vonage itself has never had any problems for me... |

Re: Hmm
If Vonage spent $176 million on advertising and only has 1.3 million customers that is $135.00 each just to acquire a customer paying $200 a year. And everybody thinks Verizon's FIOS is expensive? Verizon has cash, Vonage doesn't. |

911 & VoIP
the 911 services work well for some of you because you have enhanced e-911 service which means your local PSAP (the place that takes 911 calls) will accept those calls.
Some places do not have a PSAP that will take those calls (why exactly this is vonages fault that they wont take them is beyond me).
my 911 always works because I understand that if I have a power outage or my internet service goes dark, I have NO 911 at all... as a result I have a POTS line through my local ILEC that I can alway make calls on (as well as fax through... ever tried faxing with VoIP? not always a good experience). or I (more commonly) I use my Cell phone. I never would think to call 911 from my VoIP phone and my Kids have been taught which phone to use if they need to call 911.
This really should be a non-issue. Its the customers responsibility to make sure they can make 911 calls, not a VoIP providers. (but thats just my own opinion) |

Whoever
SunRocket You forgot to also add:
Along with lower rates, more features, you will lose failover, great call quality, and a wide range of adapters. You will pick up Rocketeers, numerous service "upgrades" that give you our new feature-SILENCE for a few hours, new Innomedia adapters that seem to be junk, fax "support" that we don't market because we have not been able to make it work, and a bright yellow annoying bird as a logo.
Did we mention our wonderful new CEO? She had a "great" track record at AOL for predicting future trends.
Welcome to the Rocket heading to the Sun...

Not to worry
Bell South will buy them, rename it, and sell it at outrageous prices (not including taxes and other tel co add ons) And then charge you extra on your internet for QOS for VOIP service.

Re: SunRocket
SunRocket has great call quality.
And I'm sure they would add failover if they bought Vonage.
And they would probably flash the existing Vonage adapters for their service so the part about the InnoMedia adapters doesn't matter.
And fax support is fine for me and many other people. [corrected]
And with the upgrades it still goes down less often than my previous VoIP service.
And who cares about the "bright yellow annoying bird as a logo"? I actually like it..
And who signs up for a company based on the CEO?
