LOL 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. | |
