BellaOnline Forums Computers Online Services Looking for info on VoIP

Mary Ellen, thanks for the update. Sounds like SunRocket has really worked out for you, great to here.

And not having monthly bills to worry about is so nice, esp. with identity theft concerns these days getting all those bills in the mail every month means a lot of mail coming in with your personal info.

Are you able to take advantage of the second line free option? Saw in a news article that people assign a different area code to the second line so that relatives can call them as a local toll charge- pretty nice option, esp. with older relatives who may be on fixed income.

I haven't done the thing where others can phone in for free yet. I wonder if Ireland could call the US for free? What a boon that would be! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> For years now, whenever anyone from overseas calls, I hang up and call them back because my rates are nothing compared to theirs.

You're so right about bills in the mail. I'm very nervous about throwing out old bills, envelopes, etc. My waste basket looks like a shredder bin. (Don't have one yet even though shredders are inexpensive; always forget.)

Hmm, good question. I looked on their website and they have info about a second number, and a little demo, kinda cute, that shows calling btwn NY and Chicago.

Luckily for you, Ireland is on the list of SunSpots- $.03 a minute.

And I so hear you on the shredder! My father is a financial planner and always been huge on shredding things. I have a shredder but misplaced it in a move. Then I found it, but never took it out of the box, so I find myself still shredding mail by hand. For day to day stuff that is fine, but I pull out the shredder for big paperwork cleanups.

Mary Ellen, how are things going with your SunRocket account? Anyone else signed up?

For those who are interested, there is currently a promo for two free phones when you join.

It's incredible. Now that I've figured out how to use all the options on the phones, I have much more than I did before. The phones they send you can even be used like intercoms betwen each other. I don't have to shout to summon DH anymore. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Save $500 per year on your phone bill!

Glad to hear you are enjoying the phones- they look pretty spiffy from the picture on the SunRocket website.

It is such a good deal already even before the phone promo.

Yep, it's kind of funny. I had been admiring my sister's phones a couple of weeks before, which she had purchased for "old-fashioned" use. Then, lo and behold, when my SR phones came, they were the same kind. I was happy.

LOL, you've really had luck with SunRocket Mary Ellen!
What are the chances of the free phones being exactly what you want?!

I believe you mentioned calling Ireland, have you used SunRocket for that. The international rates on their website look really good- $.03/ minute rates are pretty good, eh.

Hi all, thought i would add this , if you intend to fax over the digital lines, be careful. Fax communication high and low noises are not always allowed in the digital bandwidth, meaning it may work sometimes. Static or anything like that may affect it too. Just a heads up. Other than that only heard good things about digital lines.
