Re: SUNROCKET can't be profitable at $16.58 per mo
said by lstevens  :Sunrocket has substantial VC money from a very experienced VC Firm who validated their business plan in excruciating detail before investing... that's good to know ... the bosses got their seed money from someone else ... first rule of a good businessman, put someone else's money at risk!
my statements were, of course, complete speculation (i.e. pulled out of my butt) based on some (not all possible) information and my own life experiences. and, of course, my guidance is provided free of charge with no guarantee of anything. you get what you pay for.
I find nothing nefarious in SR's marketing offer, and I don't think that they're swindlers or crooks. Perhaps you'll note a degree of envy in my comments!
Those that find SR's marketing offer to be compelling should enroll, recognizing that their $199 is at risk. Not my cup of tea, but different strokes for different folks. (BTW the free phones are not showing up on SR's website today, unless they're hidden or disclosed during the signup process.) Personally, if someone wanted to try SR, I'd advise the month to month plan only...if all is as everyone says, it's still worth $25/month... Avoid making no-interest loans... |

| I think you still can get $20 a month deal with some coupon and if you want to get free phones you need to have a referal from existing customer or click on phone bird is standing on (intersting idea).

I was paying SBC over $50 a month. I have been with Sunrocket for 4 months. If they go belly up this month then at the worst I broke even. I will go without a home phone line if SR goes down. I have a cell phone that will have to be good enough. I will NEVER give SBC another dime of my paycheck. Long live Sunrocket wasn't that corny! --

| hey spm9999! although $199 might not be a lot to you, there are plenty of posters on this forum looking for free service, cheapest service, unlimited service... yesterday one dude even wanted to make free calls on Packet 8 without becoming a customer. For students, or disabled, or fixed-income, or just having a tough time, $199 is a lot to come up with, and a lot to lose if SR fails. that's why I suggested the m-t-m plan... |

Umm, this may be true but given the options out there, however Sunrocket is the cheapest startup cost. If you do the math, it would be better to charge the $199, and then pay it off month to month, then joining Vonage, Packet8, etc you'll save in the long run.
Also if you are on a fixed income, you would be looking to save money, and most likely high speed internet is not saving money, but that's neither here nor there. Sunrocket is a great deal for $199 and can not be beat! |

If you can't affort $199 you probably can't afford $50 a month. Nothing is for free in this world unfortunately.. Well once in a while..
If I didn't have the $199 I would of done the month by month plan. Still half the price or better than SBC.
