Vonage released their new unlimited $24.99 a month international calling plan for both iPhone and Blackberry users. The Vonage World Mobile VoIP service will of course be in competition with Skype’s $12.95 a month service.

The big difference that will certainly have users looking at Vonage is that they offer service to 60 countries while Skype only offers service to 40 countries. For those that are already taking advantage of Vonage a $10 a month discount may also be available.

The Vonage World Mobile will provide users with a lower cost option for calling both mobile phones and landline internationally. The app is free and is available for iPhone and iPod Touch. For Blackberry users, the app can be found at the BlackBerry App World.

iPhone uses the software via cellular and Wi-Fi data connections, whereas, BlackBerry uses only cellular. The international calling app was first released in October this year, but this new release offers a subscription option.

AT&T changed their rule, which at one time prohibited VoIP thus the use of cellular data is now possible.

VoIP may not have seen much attention in the past, but I believe this year it will get quite a bit of attention, especially with new phone releases this coming year using VoIP such as the Googlephone and the Nexus One smartphone.

  • If one is already subscribed to Vonage World, it can easily be extended to any cell phone (regular and smart phones) without subscribing to Vonage Mobile or Vonage World Mobile, thus saving $14.99 each month. Cellular minutes are not used if one’s cell phone carrier is AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile (free unlimited calls to and from favorite numbers) or Sprint/Nextel (free incoming calls). Just install a Call Bridge/Call Back switch on the Vonage World line and place unlimited air time and long distance calls to 60 countries and even share with family, friends, associates, etc. Also the use of the Vonage World line is not restricted to USA residents only. Land lines and some cell phones in the 60 countries can also place the same unlimited calls, without a broadband connection.
