Sunrocket Internet Phone Service Makes Great Gift

With the holidays just around the corner, many of us are trying to think of the "perfect gift" to get that special friend or relative who has everything. Rather than settling for an impersonal gift card or another sweater, consider giving the gift that really does keep on giving - Internet Phone Service.

With an internet phone service unlimited plan, your loved ones can make all the local and long distance calls they want and never see a long distance bill. All that's required is a broadband internet connection. Internet phone service is portable too - if your loved ones have more than one home, they can take their service with them.

All the best VoIP providers include tons of free features with a subscription to an internet phone service plan, which is a real treat for anyone accustomed to traditional phone service. Useful features such as call waiting, call forwarding, voicemail (throw away that answering machine), caller ID and call blocking are included with most plans, as well as many more calling features.

With internet phone service, your loved ones can talk as much as they want to long distance friends and relatives for no additional cost. This is a real treat - especially around the holidays when we all want to get together with family more often. Internet phone service is very inexpensive too - for less than the price of a dial tone with traditional phone service, you can have unlimited calling with VoIP, and get a ton of free features that you have to pay extra for with regular land line service.

The quality of internet phone service has come a long way in the past year or so, and as long as you choose a well known and reputable VoIP provider and have a good reliable broadband connection - you will not be able to tell the difference between internet phone service and land line phone service.

My pick for the perfect VoIP plan for a gift is Sunrocket. Here's why:

• The Sunrocket annual plan is only $199 per year for unlimited local and long distance calls within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. If you got this plan for a loved one for Christmas, they could disconnect their land line phone service and make all calls they want to without seeing a bill - for a whole year!
• Right now (most likely only for the next few days) Sunrocket is giving away a free phone with each new annual subscription. This is like getting two gifts for the price of one! The free Sunrocket phone is a GE cordless phone that works perfectly with Sunrocket VoIP service.
• Sunrocket is an extremely "customer focused" company, and they publicly display their commitment to excellent customer service right on their website. Sunrocket internet phone service offers exceptional customer support and even empowers their customer service people to make decisions "on the spot" to ensure quick customer satisfaction. I don't know of many companies that do this.
• If your loved one wants to make international calls, the Sunrocket annual plan includes $3 in international calling credit per month. With international rates among the lowest in the industry, this can add up to 100 free minutes of international calling each month - depending on where you are calling to.
• Sunrocket is so easy to set up, anyone can do it - even Grandma! When you order Sunrocket VoIP service, they send you a little device called a "gizmo" (which is their term for a VoIP adapter). You simply connect the network cable from your internet router to the gizmo, and then connect another cable from the gizmo to your computer. A telephone cable is then connected to the gizmo and the phone. These three simple cable connections are all that is required. Once the connections are made, you pick up the phone and dial a special number to activate the service. Within minutes your loved one can be making all the long distance calls they want to (within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico) - and they'll never see a long distance bill!
