Vonage Launches Time To Call App
August 3, 2011
Vonage Holdings Corp. has announced the release of its new Vonage Time To Call app, exclusively available to iPhone customers. The free app lets consumers make 15-minute international calls at low prices. Best of all, for a limited time, users can make one call using the app for free.
Available beginning today in 87 iTunes stores, Time To Call allows pay-per-call international dialing to more than 190 countries. All calls, which can last up to 15 minutes, are charged to your iTunes account.
According to Marc Lefar, CEO of Vonage:
"With the launch of Time to Call, Vonage has simplified the process of making affordable international calls for iPhone users around the globe. Not only does this service offer tremendous value for international callers dialing from their home countries, it also provides a great solution for international travelers who want to avoid the bill shock associated with international calls and roaming charges when they call back home. Time to Call requires far less effort than calling card services and other international calling plan options, and is substantially less expensive than dialing direct through a mobile carrier. It's simple, fast and fair."Fifteen-minute calls to 100 countries range from $0.99 to $1.99; more than 90 additional countries can be called for flat rates ranging up to $9.99. Calls to landlines and mobile phones are the same rate. Vonage states these prices are 70-90 percent lower than those being charged by major mobile carriers. Finally, Time to Call users do not have to be Vonage home phone service subscribers. The service works via Wi-Fi worldwide, and is also available for use on 3G in the U.S. and Canada. Interesting app, don't you think? Once we have a chance to use the new Vonage Time To Call app, we'll let you know what we think.
