Angela BensonNow y’all know that I don’t use this blog to abuse you but I saw an offer that I wanted to tell you about. I’ve recently changed my telephone service to Sunrocket, a broadband service that is delivered over the cable line. The service is $199 a year, yes, a year. And they gave me three add’l months free.
Well, I just went to login and check my voice mail and I saw this special that they’re having for today (Tuesday, March 27) ONLY; $199 for one year and the second year free.
If you already have digital cable, you may want to consider this service. My phone bill was about $90 a month, and now at $199 a year, it’s only about $17 a month. A huge savings. Enough for me to hire someone to clean my house once a month, but that’s another story.
I promise not to bother you with promotions but I know some of us are trying to make our dollars go a bit further. Take a look at Sunrocket. If it seems it’ll work for you, give it a try.
There are a couple of downsides:
–You have to pay the full $199 when you join
–If you have an alarm system in your house that uses the phone to call out alarms, you’ll have to keep a second line or pay around $200 for some special fixture.
I don’t get anything out of this. It seems like such a good deal that I wanted to pass it along.

I’ve used VOIP service off and on for years. A couple of watchouts. Biggest issue is inconvenience if you’re Internet service is down for any reason. Not as a big deal as it used to be, what with almost everyone having a cell phone too, but be advised. Also, check to make sure you can still phone 9-1-1 as needed.
You’re right, Patricia. That’s another downside. I have a cell–used to be a prepaid cell woman, but had to go contract because the colleagues at my new job are cell folks–so that’s my backup if it goes down.
It’s not perfect service, but eveytime I compare 17 to 90, I tell myself I can deal with it.
