It's Official: SunRocket Down In Flames

The breaking news from GigaOM this morning is that SunRocket is dead. Calls to SunRocket's Customer Service number state that they are no longer taking Sales or Customer Service calls. A former SunRocket employee posts in comments to the GigaOm post suggests the rank-and-file employees had no clue this was coming.

This is no big shock to me. As I said before, I expect many more standalone VoIP providers that don't provide any real value to go down in flames. I wonder when Vonage's number is up, personally.

There is an open question about what will happen to those approximately 200,000 people whom still have service with SunRocket. Early reports from customers suggest the service is still operating, but for how long? And will you be able to port your number out before the lights get turned out?

I'd love to hear from customers and/or employees of SunRocket about your experiences, or customers/employees of similar companies who have experienced a similar problem. Post in the comments.

Update: Hat-tip to Alec Saunders for finding the NY Times article confirming all this.
