Are you serious? Not impressive with the fees and taxes?

Isnt VT 199 plus fees and shipping?

Wasnt SR 199 plus fees and shipping?

Isnt Nuvio now 199 plus shipping, port fee and taxes?

Most providers monthly are 19.95 or 24.95 plus taxes/fees.

Actually, I thought I posted a followup comment but guess I probably just hit the preview button and forgot to hit post.. maybe i should go back to sleep - lol

I agree the fees are comparable and better than many VOIP providers.

But for byod users, as in my case, I dont see an option. Most VOIP providers waive activation and of course shipping with BYOD so that is $45 less. Perhaps if one calls there customer service the option is available.

So bottomline, if you are a regular customer and not byod their prices are very good. Plus I actually like their website - it does not seem scammy to me as mentioned earlier in the thread.

These folks have had billboards up around Atlanta for about the past year or more.

While that doesn't mean a lot, paying $3-4k/month for billboard advertising in a major city doesn't seem like a normal MO for a scamster.

Additionally, these guys ran a successful ISP provider company (JoiInternet?) for a few years before selling it off (I think to Earthlink), so it's not as if they are a fly-by-night company.

The thing that I liked the least was that it's hard to find out how much it will cost for their services without going through the sign-up process far enough to get to a page that lists what they are about to charge your credit card.

Early in the Sunrocket is Dead thread someone posted a link to the Joiphone service at $4.95/mo. If I were going to use them, I'd dig that link up.

But now that I've unlocked my Sunrocket Gizmo, I'm a BYOD guy, so no Joiphone for me.
