Certified DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with VoIP Service
Multi-handset
cordless phone with integrated router to be available at nationwide retail
channels starting this month
VIENNA, Va., and CITY OF INDUSTRY,
Calif.–March 6, 2007—SunRocket, one of the nation’s fastest-growing Internet
phone service providers, and American Telecom Services, Inc. (AMEX: TES), a
leading provider of converged communications solutions, today announced the
launch of a fully certified DECT 6.0 cordless multi-handset Internet phone
powered by SunRocket. The E6501S DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications) phone—which includes ATS’ patent-pending Digital Clear
functionality and is bundled with SunRocket Internet phone service—will be
available through nationwide retail channels beginning this month, starting with
one of the nation’s largest office superstores.
“DECT 6.0 offers
tremendous advantages over existing cordless handsets and begins setting the
foundation for future SunRocket home-centric communications services,” said Rob
Chandhok, chief product officer at SunRocket. “Now any consumer with a broadband
Internet connection can simply purchase this multi-handset cordless phone and
activate SunRocket service to enjoy inexpensive, interference-free, digitally
clear Internet telephone service.”
With an integrated router, users no
longer require a separate Internet phone adapter, as full VoIP capabilities are
already built in. In addition, because the DECT 6.0 phone operates in the 1.9
GHz frequency band, defined by the FCC specifically for cordless phones, the
DECT phone avoids interference problems associated with home networks and other
wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies—such as Wi-Fi,
microwave ovens and garage door openers.
The E6501S, with its DECT 6.0
technology, also enables:“The combined savings, quality, simplicity
- An expandable design for up to five total
handsets;- Communications range of more than 650 feet; and
- SIP-compliant VoIP platform.
and enhanced features of the American Telecom DECT phone bundled with SunRocket
means that mainstream consumers can now enjoy full VoIP functionality in a
single device and seamlessly transition from their existing home phone service,”
said Bruce Hahn, CEO of American Telecom Services.
Retail customers will
be able to easily activate the multi-handset cordless unit for Internet phone
service by choosing from any of SunRocket’s offerings, including its pioneering
all-inclusive $199 Annual Edition—which delivers unlimited free calling
throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, enhanced voicemail, over a
dozen free built-in calling features, enhanced 911 calling, plus the option to
keep their existing phone number.

I cancelled my account and was told that I could keep their device because I was with them for a year. Now I am being charged 95.99. Oh, and I can't get over the disconnection fees. Hello, where the hell did I agree to a contract?
They are so quick with the billing but when it comes to service, they suck. VONAGE IS HORRIBLE

I would strongly recommend all the SunRocket customers to go with a provider like Lingo. Lingo has fine international calling plans for business and home users. Its annual calling plan is available just for $195. Using Lingo’s international telephone number, anyone in Australia, Brazil, France, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Taiwan and the U.K can make calls to Lingo subscribers at local rates.
