If you are a current Sunrocket customer then you now by now that they have now closed. The whole thing came as a big surprise to me and everything happened quickly.

Now that Sunrocket has closed here is the current best offer for previous Sunrocket customers:

1. Viatalk: Viatalk is currently offering a 6 month contract buyout with a free second phone line to previous Sunrocket customers. I’m not sure how long the contract buyout offer will last, so I suggest acting quickly. They are experiencing a surge of new customers.

FAQ about switching from Sunrocket to ViaTalk:

Q. What is the current promotion is Viatalk running?

A. When you sign up for phone service for $199 a year you will receive up to 6 months of your unused SunRocket contract time for free. For example:

- If you had a 12 month contract with SunRocket and only used 8 months of service you will receive 4 months free.

- If you had a 12 month contract with SunRocket and only used 2 months of service you will receive 6 months free since the promotion is good for up to 6 months of service.

Q. How does the Sunrocket contract buy out work?

A. Once your account is activated and you receive your welcome email you will need to contact their billing department either via ticket at support.viatalk.com or via toll free call at 1-866-626-7150. Their billing department will tell you what information they need from you in order to process your credit. It is a good idea to gather all of your SunRocket account statements and other information while you still can.

Q. How do I sign up for this promotion?

A. You can sign up right through the order form on Viatalk’s website. You don’t need to do anything special.

Q. Will I be able to keep my SunRocket phone number?

A. Number portability can not be guaranteed nor can portability be checked in advance for any given telephone number however most numbers are portable. When you receive your account information there will be instructions for submitting a Letter of Authorization for us to port your number to ViaTalk service.
