PRESS RELEASE
Free Calls and Texts
Vonage Mobile® is a free downloadable app for iPhone® and AndroidTM that lets users talk and text worldwide for FREE with anyone else who uses the app1. The app is available globally in iTunes® and AndroidTM Market.
Serious Savings on International Calling
When calling those who don't have the app, Vonage Mobile provides ultra low-cost calling worldwide with per-minute rates that are on average 70 percent less than major mobile carriers and 30 percent less than Skype2. In addition, calls to any phone in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico from anywhere in the world will be free for a limited time.*
Users can instantly add calling credits directly through their existing iTunes or Google Play account right within the app. Rates start at 1.6 cents/min., and calling credit is available in $4.99 and $9.99 increments. There's no hassle with credit cards or calling cards, no pre-arranging through a carrier and no commitment to an international calling plan, so there are no hidden fees or billing surprises.
Share Photos and More
With the latest version of Vonage Mobile, users can now share their photos and location directly from the app1. Users can upgrade to this version of the app in iTunes or Google Play.
Easy to Use
With Vonage Mobile, users never have to leave the app when calling, texting, buying calling credits or checking calling rates. Vonage Mobile automatically shows users which of their contacts they can call and text for free. The app makes it easy to build a global free calling and texting network using the contacts in the existing address book. Users can simply invite friends and family to download the app through the multi-invite system within the Vonage Mobile address book. Plus, Vonage Mobile utilizes the existing mobile number when calling and texting so there is no need to create and share new usernames.
How it Works
App-to-App calls are made using the latest innovations in VoIP technology to deliver high-definition audio quality; the difference versus traditional cell phone calls is dramatic. Vonage Mobile works over Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G wireless data networks anywhere in the world. Users don't need to be a Vonage customer to use the app, although as an added benefit to all app users, calls to Vonage home or business lines are also free.
