The big telephone compa-nies are in panic mode.

These old telephone compa-nies — Verizon, AT&T, Sprint,MCI — have become so usedto collecting lots of moneyfrom millions of customers thatthey can’t run their businessany other way.

By comparison, SunRocketSignature Service is based ontoday’s new voice over InternetProtocol (VOIP) technology.

The “IP” in “VOIP” standsfor “Internet protocol”…thecoding standard by which alldata is transmitted over theInternet.

By using voice over IP tech-nology, SunRocket SignatureService can convert ordinary“analog” voice conversationsinto data signals that conform

to the IP standards…allowingtelephone calls to be transmittedover the Internet.

Sent as “data packets,”voice-over-Internet calls avoidcostly “circuit-switching” feesthat hike up the cost of con-ventional telephone calls.

By using VOIP, SunRocketcan route your telephone callsover the Internet…whichcharges no fee to carry voicetraffic.

The bottom line:Members of SunRocketSignature Service canslash their phone bills60% or more and enjoynew advanced featuresabsolutely free!

Plus, SunRocketSignature Service givesyou all the value-added

features phone users have cometo expect…including call wait-ing, call forwarding, three-waycalling, voicemail, and manymore…all for one low basicrate — less than a dollar a day!

Two phonenumbers for the

savings and new advanced features, Internet phoneservice is the most afford-able way to give phoneservice to the entire fam-ily,” says Paul Erickson,SunRocket’s ChiefExecutive Officer.

With SunRocket,members get a freeSignature Number in

addition to a regularhousehold phone number.

Additional Signature Numberscan be added for each memberof the household.

“This way, the kids and parents can each have their ownphone numbers,” says Erickson.“Or, a SunRocket memberworking at home can have onenumber for personal use and asecond number for the homeoffice.”

New SunRocket membersget two numbers, a free multi-handset cordless phone system,and unlimited local and longdistance calls for just $24.95 amonth. Value-added featureslike call screening, call logs, callblocking, and caller ID areincluded in the basic rate at noextra charge.

“At these prices, the oldphone companies selling conventional telephone serviceshould be shaking in theirboots,” says Erickson. “Andthey are.”

He predicts that over thenext few years, consumers will wake up to the fact thatthey can enjoy greatly enhancedcapabilities at rock-bottomprices with Internet phone service…and switch away fromold traditional phone compa-nies in droves.

He may be right: Inter-national Data Corporationprojects that the Internettelephony market will growfrom approximately $480 mil-lion in 1999 to over $19 billionin 2004.

And according to a recentarticle in Fortune, some 17.5million users — or about16% of U.S. homes — will beusing voice-over-Internetphone service by 2008.

That means almost one outof six Americans will be callingfriends and family over theInternet…instead of on the old “landline” network thatVerizon and other major phonecompanies rely on.

advancements within the lastfew years.

SunRocket provides a “digi-tal-quality voice signal generallyequal to or better than cellular.The voice quality of SunRocketSignature Service — comparedwith the early voice-over-Internettechnology — is like the differ-ence in sound between a CDand an old-fashioned record,”says CEO Erickson.

With digital voice, there’sno noise added during trans-mission…the original sound isrecreated at the other end.

Why is our call quality supe-rior? To begin with, our tele-phone adapter conforms to the “voice prioritization stan-dard”…in which voice packetsare given priority over datapackets.

High-capacity fiber-opticcables connect the SunRocketnetwork directly to majorInternet Service Providers. This minimizes the number of“hops” the call makes as it isrouted through the Internet,and reduces degradation thatcould result from network congestion.

We’re so confident thatyou’ll be satisfied with

SunRocket Signature Servicethat you may try it in yourhome risk-free for 31 days. Ifyou are not 100% satisfied, justlet us know. We’ll promptlyrefund your money in full —no questions asked.

Highlyreliable

The reliability of Internetphone service is probablyhigher than you’d expect. Here’s why…

The voice over IP technologyconverts analog voice signalsinto digital signals that are car-ried over the Internet — theworld’s most reliable communi-cations network.

The Internet never goesdown. Traffic sent through theInternet automatically routesaround any blocked path andfinds another way to its desti-nation. Fully redundant hard-ware — including emergencypower generators — is incorpo-rated throughout the SunRocketsystem to ensure continuousoperation in case of componentfailure.

Dirty little secrets that phonecompanies don’t tell you... Dirty Little Secret #1The so-called Federal SubscriberLine Charge isn’t required by thefederal government.

The Federal Subscriber LineCharge is not a governmentcharge or tax. It does not end upin the government’s treasury.

The charge covers the cost ofthe local phone network.

To find the FederalSubscriber Line Charge, lookcarefully at your monthly phonebill. The charge may appear as:

• Federal Subscriber Line Charge• FCC Charge for Network Access• Federal Line Cost Charge• Interstate Access Charge• Federal Access Charge• Interstate Single Line Charge• Customer Line Charge• FCC-Approved Customer Line Charge

The “dirty little secret” of the“Federal” Subscriber Line Chargeis that the federal government doesnot require it.

Calling the Federal SubscriberLine Charge an “FCC Chargefor Network Access,” as sometelephone companies do, is alsomisleading.

Reason: The FCC does notrequire telephone companies toadd this extra charge to customerbills.

The FCC’s only involvementwith the Subscriber Line Chargeis to set a maximum price that atelephone company may chargefor it.

The limit set by the FCC forSubscriber Line Charges is $6.50per month per phone line.

For a household with threephone lines, that comes to anextra $234 a year. With SunRocketSignature Service, you avoid all of these charges.

Dirty Little Secret #2It costs the phone companiesalmost nothing to provide extra features…yet most chargethrough the nose for them.

Verizon, for instance,charges an extra $7.50 amonth for caller ID.

But the truth is, caller ID isenabled by software in a phonecompany switch. The phonecompany doesn’t have to buy anyadditional hardware to bring youthis feature. The cost to them isnearly zero.

So why do they charge $7.50for caller ID? Simple. Becausethey know your service is notcomplete without it, and you’llpay whatever they charge to get it.

Over 50% of homes subscribeto caller ID…which translatesinto more than $100 million in phone company profits everymonth!

At SunRocket, we pass ourlow cost of doing business on to our members…instead ofgouging them for additional fees.

That’s why, for the all-inclu-sive price of just $24.95 a month,your SunRocket Signature Serviceincludes all of the popular phonefeatures such as caller ID, call

waiting, voicemail, and more —absolutely FREE!

Dirty Little Secret #3Despite well-publicized pricewars, the major telephone com-panies still charge customersinflated international rates.

Only customers who are willing to commit to a monthlyfee for an international callingplan are saved from gouging!

One Verizon customer whorecently made a 7 minute call toBolivia was charged $3.80 aminute! $26.60 for one 7minute call — that’s more than awhole month of SunRocketSignature Service! And $3.80 per minute is 1000% higher thanSunRocket’s normal $.10 perminute rate.

Plus, a SunRocket memberwho selected the InternationalCall Pack would get $3.00worth of FREE internationalcalling included each month —that would cover the 7 minutesto Bolivia and then some! Infact, $3.00 covers a lot of calling: up to 100 minutes to14 featured countries and 30minutes or more to 64 othercountries, plus amazingly lowrates everywhere else.
