The problem is that the single, simple price, is rarely a bargain,
unless you are dropping your landline anyway.
The Sunrocket web site shows $199 per year. The $199 for two years was a
promotion for 1000 customers, that's long gone.
I could never use $200 worth of long distance, at 2¢ per minute, in one
year, and I have to keep my landline anyway since cable would be far
more expensive than DSL.
I think that most of the people I know are in the same boat, since they
use their cell phone for most long distance calls either, off-peak, or
with free mobile to mobile. Even using the $10 per six month minimum
(500 minutes) on Talkloop or Onesuite is tough. The big use of Talkloop
for some people I know is internationally, and their rates are a lot
lower than Sunrocket. The big use of Talkloop for me is intra-LATA calls
in the Bay Area during peak hours when I don't want to use up my peak
cell minutes.
