Deep discounts on IP telephony

Internet phone company SunRocket is setting new pricing lows to get more people interested in Internet telephony by slashing its service to $9.95 per month.

On Tuesday SunRocket is expected to announce its Limited Edition service, designed to give consumers an opportunity to try voice over IP (VoIP) without severing ties with their old phone companies.

Roughly 40 million households in the United States have broadband access to the Internet, but only about 3 million of them are using VoIP, which lets service providers route calls over the Internet instead of the traditional phone network. Many people are still skeptical of VoIP and need to test drive the service before committing to it, said Joyce Dorris, chief marketing officer and co-founder of SunRocket.

"Most Americans have heard of Internet telephony," she said. "But they aren't ready to cut the cord yet. We saw an opportunity to make it easier for them to try VoIP and experience it for themselves."
