| Official TeleBlend Interview thread with CEO
As mentioned, should get going around 3:15, sorry for the delay. The CEO, Bill Fogg, will give a brief introduction, provide some answers to questions that I've collected from the other thread, and then he is happy to take questions. If possible, let's try not to re-post the same question others have.
I'm sorry we are running a little late, and appreciate everyones patience |

| I found this on broadband reports. To the best of my knowledge, the following terms was posted when I signed up on 7/18.
TeleBlend's Unlimited Plan includes:
* Unlimited calling – U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico
* Free international minutes ($3.00 credit every month)
* Enhanced Emergency 911 Service
* Over 12 built-in calling features, including Caller ID, 3-way Calling, and much more
* Two free Directory Assistance calls each month
* No hidden fees
* No cancellation fees
* No transfer fees
* Option to add an extra phone number for $4.99 per month
IMO the new terms are materially different.
Take advantage of:
• No startup costs
• FREE activation
• USE your existing hardware
• FREE and quick transfer of your current number
• UNLIMITED calling to the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico

Greetings...I feel confused about my sign up with TeleBlend because it is not clear what they will be offering for those of us who want to go month-by-month but don't want an unlimited month-by-month plan. Is there an opportunity to get a lower monthly rate (as a result of limited minutes) after lets say a few months, or is the $19.95 going to be it?
Peace..
going forth trusting in the Lord |

Just a general question about "unlimited service". A lot of other VoiP providers offer so called "unlimited national calling" but then restrict you to 3000-5000 mins a month or a total amount per year. Does Teleblend do the same thing. Do we not truly get unlimited minutes? |

CEO - How do you expect to be successful with such a "thrown together at the last minute" operation? |

Why did they change the unlock password for those who did not sign up with Teleblend? Is he aware that this action falls under computer crime laws? When will Teleblend correct the problem?

can you provide us with real answers not the stock answers we have been getting. Your customers will make or break Teleblend so stop having us go in circles. I am happy that I have service at the moment, and we have all given Teleblend enough time......
Thank you....Joe |

are you now, or were you ever, in posession of sunrocket customer's personal billing information (credit card numbers, etc). the first few days the TB site was up, it filled in all your location information automatically upon processing your SR phone number.
if you are in possession of said information, please purge my billing information from your database. i did not give sunrocket, sherwood parners, nor TB permission to share and/or obtain my personal information with a company with which i have no business releationship. i am not now, nor will i ever be, a TB customer.

What is the anticipated 'official' stance with TeleBlend on BYOD?
Will it be allowed/supported, as other VoIP providers already do?
In addition, those of us that have signed on early to TeleBlend have not been experiencing the same level of service as promised, during this transition period (voicemail, international calling, blocking, logs, etc.). Are there any plans to issure a prorated credit for a degregated service during transition, or will this just be the penalty that we encounter for signing on early, as instructed by the mass e-mails that were issued?

With all the turmoil during this conversion period, are you considering any type of credit for those of us who signed up right away? We have not had our features and those SR customers who did not sign up received the same service.
Perhaps reset the next billing date to August 31st for all existing customers. |

Very good point, and a good question.

Re: Official TeleBlend Interview thread with CEO
When I moved Sunrocket assigned me a new number for E911, but let me keep my original phone number as my signature number.
I don't really want/need the new number (I have a regular landline as well for 911), but do receive calls on my old phone number.
Do I have to pay an additional $4.99/month for this?
Your website states
" Until the end of your annual contract, TeleBlend will give you the exact same services you know and love for only $12.95/month.

Not to be a pain, but if we actually get meaningful answers, this thread will likely be read by tens of thousands over the next few weeks. Could we try to keep the chatter to a minimum, beyond asking questions, to facilitate easy access to the answers for all those who end up coming here over the next few days / weeks? |

Mclean, VA | Yes. What I hope is that the CEO can answer some of these questions now, but lets keep this open and productive going forward rather than trying for a Q&A blitz. I started this thread, the CEO is part of it, and we will not forget it is here. |

First off, let me provide an overdue introduction. I’m Bill Fogg, CEO of USA Telephone, we are a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) that has been providing reliable local and long distance phone service since 1999. TeleBlend is a nationwide broadband phone service that is being offered by Unified Communication Corp., and managed by USA Telephone. The TeleBlend offering was developed with enhancements specifically for former SunRocket customers, but over time we will be offering nationwide service as well to non-SunRocket customers. |
