Like most analysts, I receive dozens of press releases a day, but one that just came over the transom from VoIP provider SunRocket caught my eye. SunRocket, which just raised $25 million from an investment round led by Mayfield Partners, is now offering a monthly VoIP service for $9.95, a sign that the price point for voice service continues its steep decline.
While not a replacement for primary line service, the package, which SunRocket is calling the “Limited Edition,” is a nice one for a second home line. It includes enhanced 911 service, free calling features such as call waiting, caller ID and three-way calling, 200 minutes of global calling and unlimited inbound and SunRocket to SunRocket Internet phone calling.
Moreoever, additional lines cost only $3 per month, and additional outbound minutes are only $.03/each. Woe to the incumbent telcos, which are already grappling with a free-fall in local line counts.
