8Г—8, Inc., provider of Packet8 residential, business and video VoIP services, announced today that they have signed an agreement with the firm that is handling the end of SunRocket. The agreement will give current SunRocket customers a special offer to switch their service over to Packet8. In addition to waiving regular start-up fees that Packet8’s service would normally entail, they are also giving transitioning customers a free month of service.
“8Г—8 is pleased to be able to quickly transition SunRocket subscribers that opt into the Packet8 service,” said 8Г—8 Chairman and CEO Bryan Martin. “In addition to special pricing, Packet8 is making arrangements with its network service providers to rapidly port SunRocket phone numbers to Packet8’s network in order to minimize the disruption that this transition may cause to their communication services. SunRocket subscribers will be able to choose from several plans, including the Packet8 $199 Freedom Annual Plan which they may already be familiar with.”
“While we are very sorry to hear about SunRocket’s financial issues, we want their former customers to know that 8Г—8 is very committed to providing the best possible communication services, features, prices and customer service to our new customers from SunRocket. We have offered residential phone service over the Internet for nearly five years, and are one of the only service providers who own all of the core technologies underlying our services, enabling us to also provide video services with our VoIP offerings, and complete, turnkey telecommunication services to more than 8,000 U.S. businesses,” concluded Mr. Martin.
