Well, it’s official. SunRocket, a VOIP company has gone under. I just got through reading dozens of blog entries about how their customers have been left with no phone service and no warning. It seems that SunRocket ran out of money and closed up shop. And thousands of their customers have to scramble to find new phone service so that they can reconnect with the world. Not to mention all those who prepaid a couple of hundred dollars for service they will never receive. Seems that money is lost along with the service.
And I was a customer of theirs until about 9 months ago when Craig Francis Szemple, the subject of my True Crime book, and I started to communicate. And he saved me from the same fate.
VOIP phone services cannot receive ‘collect’ phone calls. Not sure why, but they can’t. And prisoners can ONLY make ‘collect’ phone calls. So if I was going to interview Szemple over the phone for my book it would have to be on a normal ‘landline’, not an internet VOIP phone.
So I canceled SunRocket, had a regular phone line installed and Szemple and I ‘chat’ every Monday at 1:30 in the afternoon. Collect.
Yup…he sure saved my as*.
And so it goes…
