According to various prior news reports over the past few weeks, the company had made several substantial staff layoffs. It seemed to us that these earlier reports were all pointing to the inevitable.
"As a leading private internet phone service provider, we at ViaTalk want to let our customers know that our company is stronger than ever. In fact we are more than capable of handling the expected volume of subscribers expected to switch from SunRocket to ViaTalk. At this time, we are offering a contract buyout to them and subscribers to other VoIP companies. We are also offering a coupon for free ground shipping of ViaTalk's phone system to assist customers looking to switch because of this announcement.
"It is unfortunate that SunRocket decided to close its doors in the manner that it did. Fortunately for our customers, they know they can count on ViaTalk's staying power because of the incredible experience and success that we have had not only in the VoIP market, but over the past 8 years in the ultra-competitive web hosting industry. We are committed to the well being of our employees, including growing the workforce that we have built in our local call center.
"ViaTalk continues to offer specials that are unmatched by other VoIP providers, such as $199 for 1 year of unlimited local and long distance calls, 2 lines for the price of 1, and 3 months of free service for new subscribers."
