14 DAY TRIAL // Vonage, one of the main providers of home VoIP services in the United States, has just announced the availability of a new product that will allow customers to extend their Vonage home calling plans to any phone, including mobiles
Suggestively dubbed Extensions, the new service allows customers to use Vonage's signature unlimited international calling plans from their mobile phones, thus they will be able to call any person abroad.
According to the service provider, Extensions is offered for free to all Vonage customers and is set to increase the company's portfolio of offerings.
Customers who already subscribed to Vonage's services can add any U.S. phone number as an extension by logging into their online account.
The new service is compatible with any phone number, whether it's a cell phone, a home phone or an office number.
As soon as the customer registers, the service is enabled and will work just like any other virtual calling card.
Users of the service will simply need to dial the access number and international destination number and the call will be connected over the Vonage network.
“Vonage World set the benchmark for unlimited international calling. Now new and existing customers can call these unlimited countries on their mobile phones for no additional cost,” said Marc Lefar, CEO of Vonage.
Furthermore, customers with the Vonage World plan will be provided with even more flexibility of unlimited calling to more than 60 countries from their cell phones in addition to their home phone.
“This new service dramatically increases the value of Vonage's core offering, providing customers with more flexibility and savings when making international calls,” added Lefar.
It looks like the Extensions service will be compatible with any mobile phone, but Vonage unveiled plans to offer downloadable apps for iPhone and Android devices, in the next few weeks.
