i hacked my gizmo and deactivated the autoconfiguration ability of teleblend. my service is currently "disconnected" by sunrocket.

i can still make outgoing calls, no problem. I'm trying to find a hack to get incoming calls. everytime i call my number, i get disconnected immediately.

if someone is in a similar situation, or can offer ideas, please let me know.

Port while you still can, thats what I say.. im switching to inphonex (www.inphonex.com) service, they can port sunrocket numbers and have a trade in program where you can give your gizmo and get back an adaptor, for me thats perfect

Good luck everyone and im really sad about the respect that sunrocket had to tell us that they were gone, that means, no respect at all.

BEWARE of Vonage: The Scoop on Vonage

WARNING #1: A number of my friends signed up with Vonage and soon after cancelled their servcie becasue of horrible customer service and/or no servcie at all. Now my friends can no longer receive phonecalls from other Vonage customers! Apparently Vonage blocks receiving calls from other Vonage customers. This has happened to toooo many friends -- BEWARE!!

WARNING #2: Besides the above info, be warned that Vonage has to pay a $58 million to Verizon for infringing on 3 patents for Internet telephone technology (PLUS 5.5% of the money the company makes from technology associated with the infringed patents)! That alone should have you running in the opposite direction of Vonage!

I’ve already done something. I simply use the cheapest measured rate landline service I can get (about $10 per month, including silly taxes and fees) so I have a stable number and then use PhoneGnome to get VoIP calling, cheap VOIP rates, free calling, SIP calling, etc. and VoIP-enabled features. It’s not that hard.

Here’s what I did:

Purchase T-Mobile To Go phone (e.g., Nokia 6030) for $40 (and a refill card too–$25 for 130 minutes) from Target or a T-Mobile store.

Log into sunrocket.com’s member area: https://www.sunrocket.com/members/login/logout.do

and get your account info

After activating your new cell phone, call T-Mobile (611) and transfer your old number. They’ll need your account number, your address, and your old number.

Done! Within 24 hours your old number will go to the cell phone, and in the mean-time all the calls will get forwarded to the cell phone.

Not perfect–but it keeps service going.
