Falls Church, VA | High entertainment value. While I feel sorry for the SR customers for having to go through this mess, having lost their service and any prepaid monies, this unfolding story is certainly entertaining to follow. Its hard to tell where this will all lead.
If I was an SR customer, I'd have just written the $$ off as a lost cause and headed for a more stable provider - perhaps Vonage or someone with a track record and better balance sheet.

It truly is entertaining.
I wonder if teleblend purchased any of SR equipment?
BTY why was sunrockets network commonly going down?

| | | | | | Re: High entertainment value. Sorry, I left Verizon as they were overpriced. Verizon can kiss my lily white butt. I wonder why the Verizon wireless service is better priced and better quality?
As far as charges go, I filled a dispute with my credit card company (Chase). They refunded the prorated difference. They also assured me that the refund was a fixed refund, as they know that SunRocket has no intentions of honoring their contract. | |

Coloma, MI | There's nothing wrong with using a small VoIP provider. However, if Lisa turns up on their board, it might be wise to start porting your number to a new provider. | |
|
| | | I am glad our problems are entertaining.......... 
Well I have read most of the negative about the Teleblends customer support and having lost my service during an apparent porting and relocation operation over the last 24 hours let me just say that all my e-mails to Lisa Bickford and her chief of operations, Michael, resulted in answers and action and when my phone service was restored afew minutes ago the COO herself called me from home to verify it.
Kudos to Teleblends and my heart felt concern for their transition of over 50 thousand phones to their own equipment. Give them a break! they are neither crooks or a fly by night operation. | |

| Re: Crazy Exactly, no one wants to throw money away but I am amazed and entertained at how much time people are spending trying to find dialtone. There comes a time when you need to have one less Starbucks (speaking from experience) and put that money towards bring able to use a phone at home. | |
|
| | | | | | Re: Crazy I already have reliable service on my wireless. As I don't actually need a landline phone at home, I refuse to pay Verizon, $35 a month for basic service. | |

Riverhead, NY | TeleBlend Official Statement on Service Disruption "TeleBlend Official Statement on Service Disruption"
That's a nice statement. Let me release mine:
"The sky is blue"
Now how about an ACTUAL explanation of what you (@%$@@RF up, TeleBlend?
Oh....man....glad I don't have any dealings with this company....they would have lost my money quicker than an idiot at a three card monty table...
Why does methinks that this company also still holes some stocks in asbestos manufacturing companies?  | |
|
| | Hey Karl.... .....fix the second paragraph please.
Currently:
"After discovering the problems were in fact their won"
Should be:
"After discovering the problems were in fact their own"
Thanks

| | Well - this sux I switched to Teleblend to prevent a disruption of service. Worked fine for a week.... Now when I try to make a call, a recording comes on telling me that my Sunrocket service has been disconnected and that I can go to myteleblend.net or press "O" to sign up for Teleblend. I already signed up!
What's worse is that people calling me inbound get the message about Sunrocket service being discontinued, too.
Talk about confusion! Great for business!!!!
I finally got to be on hold with Teleblend.... 18 min and counting. At least this time it didnt say "All circuits are busy." and hang up on me. | |
|
| | I switched to PhonePower.com Relatively new voip provider but nice set of features. Good service, and the actually answer the phones! They also told me that the founders were the guys who started DSLExtreme. | |
|
| |  Lisa Bickford said she would get me fixed up
oy vey! still no phone service 
Guess I will have to mine more e-mail addresses and spam till its done.
Anyone have Mike Morrisons? | |
