| Vonage is crossing deeper into territory currently ruled by Skype with the launch of a new app for Android and iOS.
Vonage Mobile opens up the internet calling service to anyone with a
smartphone, whether they are a Vonage subscriber or not. Users get free
VoIP calls and texts over WiFi, 3G, and 4G, and Vonage looks to undercut
the competition by offering international calling at 70 percent the
average per-minute rate of mobile carriers. More importantly, the rates
best Vonage's biggest competitor Skype by 30 percent. Calling credit can
be added in increments of $4.99 or $9.99 and calls from the app to
Vonage home or business lines are free. Vonage Mobile takes advantage of
the user's current mobile phone number and contact list, meaning
integration is instant. The app is a big step for Vonage, a company that was on life support just a few years back. Vonage Mobile has the potential to attract a whole swath of mobile users looking to save big on calls. They'll still have to clear that Skype hurdle, an even bigger challenge now that the service is backed by Microsoft, but an improved smartphone experience is a big step towards doing so.
