VonageVonage Launches Mobile Applications for iPhone, BlackBerryAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on October 5, 2009 - 10:44am.
Holmdel,
N.J. - Internet telephony firm
Vonage (NYSE: VG) on Monday announced the release of mobile applications for Apple's (NASD: AAPL)
iPhone and RIM's (NASD: RIMM) BlackBerry. The free applications let users make low-cost
international calls either over a Wi-Fi connection, or on the same voice
network used to make regular calls. "We're not trying to drive voice
traffic over the data network at this point," Michael Tempora, SCP of
products at Vonage, told The Times. "Though we do look forward to the
wireless networks in the U.S.
opening up so we can launch voice and messaging apps over 3G and 4G
networks." A similar application from Google, Google Voice, has not yet
been approved for the iPhone by Apple.

Holmdel,
N.J. - Vonage (NYSE: VG), a provider of
Internet-based telephone service, announced that Apple (NASD: AAPL) has approved its mobile
application for the iPhone and iPod touch. The company hasn't released the application
yet, stating that it is currently conducting a beta test, and that general
availability will be announced at a later date. Vonage also did not state
whether its application would allow iPhone owners to use AT&T's 3G network
to make Internet-based calls, or, like Skype's iPhone application, be limited
to Wi-Fi connections.
Comcast Inks Network Management Accord With VonageAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on July 9, 2008 - 10:34am.
Philadelphia - Comcast (NASD: CMCSA), the nation's largest cable TV provider and a provider of broadband service to nearly 13 million customers, announced on Wednesday a collaborative agreement with VoIP provider Vonage, "to ensure that network management techniques are chosen that effectively balance the need to avoid network congestion with the need to ensure that over-the-top VoIP services like Vonage work well for consumers." Vonage CEO Michael Snyder ResignsAuthored by Scott Goldberg on April 12, 2007 - 6:57am.
 So this is what Vonage meant when it said a Thursday conference call would reveal how the company planned to work around Verizon’s patents? Still, today’s announcement that CEO Michael Snyder is resigning comes as little surprise. On Monday a judge barred the company from adding new customers, causing the stock to fall 11% to its all-time low of $2.88. This followed a ruling last month by a Virginia jury that ordered Vonage to pay Verizon $58 million, plus royalties on future sales, for violating three of its patents.

Reports: Internet Telephony Firm Vonage Planning $600 Million IPOAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on August 26, 2005 - 6:30am.
Edison, N.J. -- Vonage, the New Jersey-based provider of Internet-based telephone service, is planning an initial public offering to raise up to $600 million, according to published reports on Thursday. The company has raised about $400 million in venture capital and currently has about 800,000 customers. It is the largest U.S. provider of Internet phone service, although it is facing growing competition from major telecom providers, as well as Microsoft and Yahoo, which are offering voice components to their instant messaging service. Vonage's IPO, if and when it occurs, would be considered an accurate measure of just how much investor appetite there is in the public markets for technology businesses.
