"Is this the next big thing?"
No, it isn't next big thing, but it is a darn nice game with a solid online community. Particularly if you were into the books (or movies), then the quests become very interesting -- you'll actually spend time reading them and getting caught up in the lore...
The no gotcha company just gotcha-ed a lot of unsuspecting folks.
I think that there are some lessons learned from this debacle.
#1 VOIP is awesome
VOIP really is a great technology that has the ability to lower drastically the consumer's overall phone bill budget. This is why there are...
I wanted to thank everyone who has posted here. Before I bought my components and built my system, I read this entire thread -- each and every entry. By doing so, I learned the tricks and pitfalls associated with this board. Because of you helpful folks, this was hands-down the easiest and...
I ordered one (with a Gig RAM) on Friday for Mom as a Mother's Day present.
I got in on the 5% and free shipping.
Surpisingly, it shipped yesterday and is scheduled to arrive (via FedEx no less) on Tuesday.
Wow! I had to call her to expect a surprise Mother's Day present a week and a...
Well it is happy mother's day for my Mom. She's needed a new computer system for some time now. Just the monitor alone is worth it for her since her eyesight isn't the best in the world.
I applied the 5% off cupon with no problems, so it is still workign as of 3:00 PM EST 28 April 06...
"...to point to dslreports and claim that there are 100+ informed folks who are not happy with the service..."
/rolls eyes
I suppose that's directed at me. My post clearly does not say this at all.
I make the point that there are many folks that aren't happy with SR service. I point to...
"Why give up now, Karl? The endless merry-go-round needs another spin?"
:-) LOL ! Good one :-) You made me smile this morning.
No, the tread is pleanty dizzy enough without another go-round. And I think I've said my piece. I've attempted to make two points in the context of "now...
.ed You know, it just isn't worth the effort :-)
And it just isn't worth it a response. The hyper-promoter types will just keep on and on and on... Like an endless, tortuous infomercial. I suppose it gives them a purpose in life or something.
A savvy shopper *and that's why we're...
czech09, SR international rates appear to be quite competitive. Folks have claimed to be able to get $6 free international per month by using the contacts page with their regular and signature numbers (thereby getting $3 for each number). I've personally not done this because I rarely place...
Oh, and to set the record stright, I'm not "selling" anything on this forum. Perhaps that choice of terminology was projection by the poster. Or not. Whatever.
I'm the first one to say, "don't believe me!". Don't listen to what I, personally, have to say about my experience with this...
Not pedantic, but accurate. If one is going to state something as fact, it should be true. For example:
"The point is that SR is the ONLY provider that does not require even a dime's worth of investment in the trial."
This is advertisement-speak (TM) and I really don't think it serves...
GTFan --
It seems as though you eliminate the softphone option out of hand to try out VOIP. But that's okay, because some folks don't like softphones while others who travel a lot, like me, find them indespensible. I travel with my laptop, not my gizmo :-) Different strokes for different...
The simple, unshakeable truth is that there is NOT a single VOIP provider (other than SR) that allows a user to try out the service without costing a single dime."
Not true by a long shot. This is simply not true. False. Bzzt. Thanks for playing.
And rather than list several obvious...
Go check out 100+ reviews from lots of different perspectives. Good, bad, and in the middle. These aren't the same stale posts from the same old people -- these are from lots of different folks from all over that talk about their personal SR experience. My suggestion is to weed out the bashing...
It is the distortion of facts that dilutes this forum. This is what I object to and why I post.
As an example:
"...unlike all other VOIPs Sunrocket has no fees that would get lost or cancellation fees that need to be considered"
*all* other VOIPs? *all*? Really?
This quote is a...
I am hopeful that readers in this forum are intested in fact. Dull as it is, fact usually leads one down to a well reasoned conclusion.
Is the SR service a hot deal? I have an opinion, which I have stated. I think it is an okay deal. Not hot, not cold, and that's what's discussed in...
It seems like some folks simply just can't face facts. These posters quote things like "most people" this and "most people that"... without any sort of backup to their claims. They sound like a comercial -- or marketing material received in junk mail. Saying something is so doesn't make it...
If all a subscriber wants is free phones, get 'em from SR. The title of the thread could be 'Get Free Phones from SR'.
If a subscriber wants VOIP service, well, once again I'll point to the DSLReports reviews where SR ranks overall third from the bottom out of 15 providers listed; SR also...
Some posts made in this thread seem to be rather self promoting. Or promoting interests that might not be in the inerest of the buyer. That's my casual observation.
Now, let's take a look at the forum we're in. It seems to be entitled 'Hot Deals'. This appears to be a thread about SR...
"Nobody needs to listen to me or georgepa. Please go to dslreports and read the reviews/ratings for yourself. "
/applause
This is spot on. There are over 100 reviews listed. Some good, some bad, some in between. There are, however, two themes that emerge.
1. SR had gone through some...
And now... back to our regularly scheduled discussion of if Sun Rocket is a hot deal or not.
Since you get free phones, there's no question that ordering the service and cancelling (assuming you get your money back) is a reasonable deal.
But, is Sun Rocket service itself hot? Well, the...
Since this is a "Hot Deals" forum, I'll focus my post on whether or not I think that Sun Rocket is a hot deal. I would presume that what this thread is a discussion about; it seems like that's what's disucssed in this forum. Is suchandsuch a hot deal or not?
There are some very breathy...
SR had a major outage last week into early this week. Make that outages. It sucked. The overall SR customer satisfaction rating took a beating over at www.dslreports.com as folks updated their reviews according.
On cue, the SR astroturfers have pounded the various message boards in full...
I have SR and I like it a lot. The call quality for the price is superior.
However, I want folks to know that the statement that SR has been "rock solid" is very much erroneous. There have been well documented SR outages (acknowledged by SR) over the course of the summer while SR claims...
