Vonage, one of the leading providers of communications services at low costs, has recently announced its new plan that offers customers unlimited calling to mobile phones in more than 40 countries.

According to the company, those who decide to make use of the new service offered by Vonage will save more than $400 per year.

Called the World Premium Unlimited calling plan, the new offering is a 'follow-up' of the popular World plan, which has been improved by expanding the number countries for unlimited calling from 60 to 80, including unlimited calling to mobile phones in 42 countries.

People who make international calls to mobiles are frustrated by the huge premiums they pay to their phone company,” said Mike Tempora, senior vice president of product management for Vonage.

Customers who use World Premium Unlimited to call as little as one hour a week to mobile phones in countries like Mexico and the UK will save over $400 a year versus the best pay per minute rates from major phone companies.”

Subscribers of the World Premium Unlimited plan are required to pay a $54.99 monthly fee plus taxes and fees.

As Vonage suggests, the service uses a high-speed Internet connection and an existing home phone.

Starting this week subscribers of the World Premium are provided with unlimited calling to any landline number in 80 countries, or mobile phone number in 42 countries including Brazil, Costa Rica, Japan, Australia, France, Spain and the UK for one flat price.
