Goodbye SunRocket, Hello Skype and Welcome back Verizon

www.sunrocket.com , www.skype.com , www.verizon.com , www.fandango.com

Well SunRocket turned out to be unrelieble for our needs. I will still use them if was just me. I would still recomend them, @ $20 a month its hard to beat. I made sure to cash in my 20 bonus points for $10 in fandago gift cards

I installed SKYPE on my iPAQ and bought $10 in Skype-out minutes. Since I used PayPal they gave me an extrea 3 minutes. So during lunch I drove to an open hotspot near by, I think it is the World Gym, and called Sarah. The fist call was really choppy and realy could not talk. I turned on the auto-gain and tried again. this tie it was very acceptalble and the quality will more than suite my needs for a quick call home from school or my secret hotspot near Genardis ;o)

We are going back to our old Verizon phone number. I never really let it go since we had to have the line to keep the DSL and we used it for a back up to Sunrocket. So it was like $12 just for the line plus Sunrockets $20. The freedom package from verizon is @$40 so it will be @$20 more. In removing all the extra phones and Sunrockets phone adapter I did get rid of 4 extra things plugged in. 2 phones, and answering machine and the Gizmo (sunrockets phone adapeter).

I'm sorry, I know you wanted Sun Rocket to work out. It was just so annoying to not be able to get/place calls with any consistancy. I would be ipen to trying another more established VOIP like Vonage....

Love you!
