@eli.net | Not a rumor any more As of last night, the company was sold. All remaining employees were laid off today and their vendors were notified this morning. | |

| no new customers? "As of today SunRocket is no longer taking new customers. Final layoffs are expected tomorrow and the ramp down team of 25 has been put in place. All employees affected will not be given severance."
=======================================
Their website is taking orders today. If the OP's information is unfounded and inaccurate, then I would recommend to SunRocket that they seek swift legal action and track down the OP. This could amount to some jail time, as it would clearly constitute felony. It would amount to a drive-by shooting used to hurt their business. Not much different from terrorism. | |

| No news is not good news... If the company does not come right out and defend itself-- that in my book is a problem. They should issue a press release about what IS or is NOT happening when a "rumor" that could hurt their business arises. Provided there is a "gag" issuance about the company being sold, that's fine.. but there should be notification about the company's ability to provide service/sign up customers to end uncertainty that could "tank" a company sunrocket's size even after a sale *unless it was to a giant telco*, and all the terms of business remained the same.
Personally, I hope sunrocket stays intact... as opposed to being eaten by a big telco. Even getting bought by a peer voip competitor would be better.

@cox.net | Sunrocket GONE! Just checked in with some colleagues at SR and sure enough, they just let the last employees go. Goodbye Sunrocket. | |

| sorry I just wanted to say thank you and i am sorry to all of the SR mbrs... we were walked out of the call center today. we had NO warning and even when discussing the rumors we had seen on the web this morning we were told everything was fine and our jobs were safe... I loved my job and enjoyed talking with many of the mbrs but thru the last two months it was hard not to be able to tell you guys about all the scummy things they have been doing.... we are not even being offered severance packages or our remaining vacation days... just an fyi if they shut down your account before you have transfered your number you WILL lose it so please hurry in getting the numbers out.... | |

Until the rent expires at each server?
