Richland, WA | My $8 + change line works great! My SR has been up and just fine! Maybe this is just the east coast or something. Can't complain as the price I pay now is less than just the TAXES I paid before! (SR has no extra fees or taxes. I got the 199/2yr deal.) | |

| Re: Allow me to start it off... I'm a ViaTalk user (and like it better than SunRocket), but I also agree. It is puzzling this made the front page, but the ViaTalk issues have not. While I haven't really noticed severe problems with my service, I don't see where SunRocket has been worse over the past week or so. Maybe it has to do with the size of the subscriber base? | |

| Re: SunRocket Down & Spamming Spamming????
I do not have spamming problems either. Furthermore, my cox email which I never gave out, no person, no webform,,, is full of spam.
There are many, many ways for spammers to sent you emails. Blaming SR when their TOS states they will not give it out might be unsubstantiated | |

There are many, many ways for spammers to sent you emails. Blaming SR when their TOS states they will not give it out might be unsubstantiated First off, the TOS is points to their Privacy Policy. It's a bit different.
Their privacy policy states-
SunRocket collects and uses personally identifiable information - such as name, e-mail address, and credit card information - for billing and provisioning of service, to solve problems associated with service, and to inform customers and prospective customers of new SunRocket products or services that will better meet their needs. SunRocket may also share such information with business partners to ensure the successful provisioning and operation of its services and to facilitate the marketing of SunRocket products and services. However, SunRocket does not sell, trade, or disclose personally identifiable information to third parties for unrelated marketing purposes. In addition, any customer who wishes not to receive information about new or different SunRocket products or services may decline to receive such offers.
So the interesting point is that they sell the info to "business partners" ie BlueHornet. You have to then check all of the "business partners" privacy policies from there.

I meant the Privacy Policy in the previous post.

interesting, however, when a company hands down consumers info to a partner that does not mean that the partner owns the info and now can sell fwd. Thus, you do not have to seek fwd in their TOS (since you do not have any with them) In that case they might be sending you promos to use their service, thus the spam.
Regardless, I have not seen any more spam other than the usual "pharmacies, get it bigger  , investors and the Nigeria dead dude" | |

Chicago, IL | Re: SunRocket Down & Spamming I setup a special email account just for Sunrocket use. I'll let you know if I get any spam to it. The username is very very long and not based on dictionary or any other words so there is very little chance of it ever receiving spam. | |

| Yeah, Bad Article Timing
If anything the service has been working much better and more consistently over the last two weeks (for me and I think the majority of users) than it was before. Most of the current crop of issues is really minor and/or uncorroborated stuff -- call logs delayed, spam conspiracy theories, voice mail notifiers. As noted, Viatalk's had the real problems for a change, due to a major systems re-architecture, but I trust that's behind them.
As we speak Sunrocket appears to be rolling out significant upgrades (including the long-awaited failover) so this happy situation is likely to get murkier any minute now...
