    VIENNA, Va., Jan. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- SunRocket,

    The annual, all-inclusive $199 Asia Pacific Edition(sm)
offers a compelling and unique alternative for U.S.
consumers who frequently call friends and family located
throughout China and the Asia Pacific. With per-minute
calling rates well below traditional phone service
offerings and as much as 90 percent less than other major
VoIP providers, the SunRocket Asia Pacific Edition value
proposition is unmatched in the industry.

    "Prior to the SunRocket Asia Pacific Edition,
consumers were forced to jump through hoops to seek savings
on international calls to China, often resorting to
inconvenient and deceptively expensive prepaid calling
cards," said Joyce Dorris, SunRocket co-founder and
Chief Marketing Officer. "Now SunRocket makes it easy
for consumers to enjoy the lowest per-minute rates to
China, building upon our mission to change what is possible
for consumers and challenge historical pricing practices by
our competitors." 

    The Asia Pacific Edition reduces international rates to
$.01 per minute on all calls (landline and cell) to China,
Singapore and Hong Kong; and on landline calls to Taiwan,
Malaysia and South Korea. Landline rates fall to $.02 per
minute for Japan; while SunRocket's rate on all calls to
Vietnam is cut nearly in half to $.10 per minute. Consumers

    "The Asia Pacific Edition is the first of its kind
to bundle these countries together into one all-inclusive
calling plan," added Dorris. "As the cost to
providers for international calling continues to decline,
it is unconscionable for phone companies to force customers
into paying outrageously marked-up rates; and with
SunRocket's Asia Pacific Edition, they no longer have
to."  

    The $199 annual, all-inclusive Asia Pacific Edition
includes unlimited free calling throughout the U.S., Canada
and Puerto Rico.  As with other SunRocket plans, customers
enjoy enhanced voicemail, over a dozen free built-in
calling features, enhanced 911 calling, plus the option to
keep their existing phone number.
