Schenectady, NY | SunRocket Days are OVER! As of today SunRocket is no longer taking new customers. Final layoffs expected tomorrow and the ramp down team of 25 has been put in place.
All employees affected will not be given severance.
Well done Lisa, well done! Did you happen to get your $130,000 signing bonus?
I must mention if Joyce and Paul were still around none of this would have happened. They both had a clear vision of what SR should and could have been -- Lisa Hook took that away from them! |

| What source are you getting this info from? Please post. The website still appears to be functional. So it looks like business as usual for SunRocket. |

Schenectady, NY | Try calling the call center. Also, by COB today if you try and sign up it will simply tell you "service is not available".
The information I am sharing is coming directly from employees of SunRocket who were selected for the "ramp down" team. |

WTF. How do you know that? I assume since you are Arlington, VA you must have some inside information.
I was just shipped a new replacment Gizmo overnight and there were indication about any issues when I was talking to CS. |

Yeah, where is the source... I looked on all the forums, and I have not seen anything. I am a customer, and would like to know to as I want to keep my number.
Please where did you get this info from, it is counter to what I see online. |

Not sure about existing customers.
This all just happened around 2:00 today. From what I hear at 11:00 am EST tomorrow we might know who is gonna buy SR. I can't imagine there will be many bidders, although I hear lisa hook is on the Covad board so that might be an option. |

I'm a little suspicious, you just joined today to post this. Personally I want a more creditable source before I believe a company is going under. |

And the reason Connections (inbound sales team) will not sell SR is b/c they they owe them over 200,000. Call  |

Re: SunRocket Days are OVER! TMJ - Can I ask why you changed your location from Arlington VA to NY today in your profile.
Also, can you please post any proof of this. If it was told by an employee, then they must think they are out of job, so who was it. Maybe, just the department that they worked in. I guess, I would like more proof of a rumor like this, then one person in all the internet with the proof. Especially since things like Signup are working, and they even updated the webiste with a new promo.
That does like a compnay that is going to die tomorrow.
You can PM me this information if you like. |

neither voip-info.org, voip watch nor voip lowdown has any mention of this. i'd take the OP with a grain of salt, given his registration date and lack of source citation.

BUT, i used the service address for my existing account (it picked up the dupe email address, i'd think the service address would be checked too).
BUT (#2), this could just be a glitch in the system.
BUT (#3) - I just tried w/ my neighbor's address, same message.
BUT (#4) - there is no BUT #4.
