SunRocket Introduces Annual Plan Providing Unlimited Calling to 41 Countries and Cities; Internet Phone Service Firm Delivers Breakthrough Value on International Calling with SunSpots Edition for a Flat Fee of $299 Per Year

Business Wire, July 10, 2006

VIENNA, Va. -- SunRocket, one of the nation's fastest-growing Internet phone service providers, today announced that it has once again set a breakthrough value standard with the introduction of a new annual, all-inclusive calling plan that enables consumers to save hundreds of dollars a year on international calling.

The SunRocket SunSpots Edition(SM) lets customers make unlimited calls to ANY of the 41 countries and cities designated as SunRocket SunSpots(SM). This includes popular destinations around the world, including most of Europe, Far East destinations like China, Japan and South Korea, key Latin American destinations like Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Caracas, and Argentina, plus many other locations worldwide. Calls to mobile phones are not included in the plan, and are charged at low per-minute rates depending on the destination.

The $299 annual, all-inclusive SunSpots Edition also delivers unlimited free calling throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. As with other SunRocket plans, customers will enjoy enhanced voicemail, over a dozen free built-in calling features, enhanced 911 calling, plus the option to keep their existing phone number.

"The SunRocket SunSpots Edition is welcome relief for consumers who continue to get hammered by other providers when making international calls," said Joyce Dorris, SunRocket co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer. "For about $25 a month, our customers who make frequent calls overseas to friends and loved ones can talk whenever they want, without having to worry about a nasty surprise on their next month's phone bill."

For those who regularly call beyond the SunSpots coverage area, SunRocket is also launching the SunRocket Global Edition(SM) that provides additional savings for calling to higher-cost destinations like India, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic. The annual, all-inclusive $349 Global Edition provides a free calling allowance of $20 every month towards international calling to anywhere in the world - that's $240 worth of free international calls annually - in addition to unlimited calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

"No matter where you call, across the street or anywhere around the world, SunRocket continues to break through historic boundaries between local, long distance and global calling," added Dorris. "While traditional phone companies continue to gouge unsuspecting consumers with egregious per-minute charges for international calling, SunRocket remains a champion for delivering the level of value and service our customers expect."
