IP Democracy: SunRocket Pushes Value of VoIP Higher

Internet phone rising star SunRocket is pushing down the price of VoIP even further while upping the value of the service. The Vienna, VA-based company announced this morning a new global calling plan, called the SunRocket Sunspots Edition, that covers 41 countries, or cities within 41 countries, with unlimited calling for $299/year, or $24.92 per month.

An even more deluxe package, called SunRocket Global Edition, covers high-cost countries, such as India, the Phillipines and the Dominican Republic, for $349/year, or $29.08 per month. As Richard Greenfield at Pali Capital pointed out in a research note this morning, these prices are on par with what Vonage charges (and far lower than typical cable VoIP service, which runs around $40/month), but covers a wider swath of the world.

The Sunspots plan is particularly interesting as the monthly price is virtually the same as Vonage’s core offering, yet it provides unlimited international minutes to a significantly wider array of international destinations than Vonage.
