Vonage (VG) said it launched Vonage Mobile, its first mobile calling application for smartphones.
Vonage Mobile is a free downloadable application that provides low-cost international calling while on Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
With Vonage Mobile user can call around the world from home, a Wi-Fi hotspot, or while traveling around the country. Vonage Mobile is easy to use. There are no access numbers or new phone numbers to give to friends and family.
Once downloaded, the service saves customers more than 50% on calls to dozens of countries versus the rates charged by wireless carriers while providing far more convenience than calling cards. Vonage Mobile will be available for download on the iPhone, BlackBerry and iPod touch at www.vonage.com and the iTunes App Store later on October 5.
Further, the company said the application will give customers exceptional per-minute rates to any country they want to dial. In the fourth quarter 2009, the company will enhance the application to include the popular Vonage World plan that was introduced for home service in August.
