Hi, do you happen to know if you can specify an international number for the signature number (011 44....)? This way if someone was in the country that you specified in the signature number they could call it at a local rate.

Can I get a phone number from another area or city?
Yes, you can get a SunRocket Anywhere Number. An Anywhere Number allows you to choose a number with an area code outside your local calling area. During sign-up, you are given a choice of nationwide area codes.

Not at this time.

Talk about an "Ah Ha..." moment! Signed up via Sunrocket website for the $199 yearly plan on Saturday, January 14th - received my Sunrocket gizmo package with the 2 free Uniden DCT646 phones on Thursday, January 19th. Okay now for the fun stuff.
1. Open box and throw aside any instructions, warranties, welcome letters etc.
2. Upack and power up VOIP router.
3. Plug in handset base unit to phone1 jack on back of VOIP router.
4. Connect the VOIP router using its WAN port to my LinkSys workgroup switch.
5. Pick up phone immediately get "Out of Range" - then realize phones not charged - 15 minutes later pick up phone and get dial tone! Make calls and test incoming - leave some voicemails etc. Un-frikking-believable! Sound quality is crystal clear on both ends - absolutely no performance hit internet service wise etc.
Can anybody say "Ah haaaa!..." For me it was all the more an inspiring moment that it worked out-of-the-box considering my setup:
ISP's Microwave MMDS broadcast tower 12 miles and 8,000 foot elevation away -> Roof-mounted microwave anntenae -> Modem -> 4 port Belkin Router/Gateway -> 1 port hard-wired via CAT5 to a Linksys WAP configured as access point (left antennae hooked to an indoor Wifi Parabolic Antennae pointing out through the glass of a rear window in my Mom's house toward a rear window of my house 300 feet away) -> Linksys WAP with matching indoor antennae in my window configured as access client to first WAP -> Linksys 5 port workgroup switch -> Sunrockect gizmo -> my VOIP phones!
If this isn't too cool or what? All I can say so far, is that sound, clarity, heck everything, far exceeds what I expected! Already have customer service numbers for Qwest (residential POTS service) and Working Assets (long distance provider) at the ready for tomorrow morning and cancellation of their service. Will also request a field tech from Qwest to disengage incoming phone power line so I can hook my gizmo into house jack and use internal wiring to hook up any and all VOIP-service phones throughout the house!

You can easily disconnect Qwurst at the D-mark box attached to the side of your house. Why let them sniff around?
The "load" side vs. the "line" side of the connections will be obvious to you once you're inside the box.
Just disconnect the "Line" side (the wires from Qwurst) and leave the wires to your house alone. Some "internal patches" are accomplished at the D-mark by techs and you still want your house to function correctly (i'm guessing).

I decided to go with SunRocket thanks to this forum, however, I am experiencing many dropped calls and at times there is a 15 second voice delay or dead air time. I contacted SunRocket about this problem, but I am still waiting to hear from them. I placed the gizmo after the router. Also, I have RoadRunner as my internet provider and thus the speed is pretty fast. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Does anyone know if they are still honoring the 15 mos/$199 with free phones deal? Is there still a code to mention, and also, any shipping for the Gizmo/phones/setup fees/etc?
Thanks!

$199 for 12 months of unlimited service, comes with a $100 international calling card. Again, all the same features as the two deals mentioned above. This deal includes a $100 call allowance to international destinations, which comes out to $8.33 allowed per month. Take this deal ONLY if you have international calling needs that are higher than the $3 international call allowance already included in the first deal. If a caller uses all of the international minutes that are included in this deal he can bring his monthly service cost way down.
No signup link, but Sunrocket will honor this during call-in. Here is a picture of a flyer Sunrocket currently is mailing out to show this particular deal:
