Voice over Internet protocol phone service provider ViaTalk announced on Thursday it has launched a holiday promotion, offering new ViaTalk customers a free year of telephone service when they pay for the first year of service in advance.

ViaTalk was launched in 2005 by Brendan Brader, CEO of Web hosting company HostRocket.

“It seems too good to be true, but as a thank you to our new customers this holiday season we are giving away two years of our service for the price of one,” says Brader. “This is sure to be one of the best bargains this holiday season – better phone service, unlimited long distance to make all your holiday calls, and at a fraction of the cost of what you are paying now.”

The offer is open to new customers who have not had ViaTalk within the past 60 days. And the ViaTalk lines are subject to the monthly FCC mandated E-911 fee as well as a monthly regulatory recovery fee.

ViaTalk offers VoIP telephony service to business and residential customers. It has customers in 2,200 markets in all 50 States.
