Vonage Announces The Launch Of New ‘Extensions’ Service

Vonage VoIP has announced the launch of a program it calls Extensions, which enable residential users of the service register a second phone to their Vonage account for no charge, and place outgoing phone calls using that phone.

The second phone could be any telephone including a business phone, with Extensions being designed to accommodate many customers using their mobile phone devices as their second phone. With this in mind Vonage has said that it will quickly introduce iPhone and Android applications.

Vonage describes Extensions as “breaking beyond the four walls of the home” which will make its VoIP service independent of the home telephone, with the company stressing the convenience of Extensions and the fact that users of Vonage World service can make calls to over 60 countries from their mobile device much cheaper than the cost of making the same call using their wireless carrier.

“This new service dramatically increases the value of Vonage’s core offering, providing customers with more flexibility and savings when making international calls,” said CEO Marc Lefar, in a statement.

“We have observed a trend prior to launching Extensions that led us to believe our customers would embrace this,” Tempora continued. “From data we have, we know that more than 50 percent of international calls in the U.S. are made from a mobile phone, so it made sense that our customers would want to do this.”
