“Executing on our growth priorities, we have made steady progress building the foundation to deliver services in Brazil,” said Marc Lefar, Vonage Chief Executive Officer. “And over the last couple of months, we have made great improvements in the quality, capabilities and appeal of the Vonage Mobile app. With our launch of video calling two weeks ago, Vonage Mobile now has a level of completeness and quality that is unsurpassed by any other communications app in the market.
Vonage continues to strengthen the capabilities of its mobile app; it recently launched video calling for iOS and Android, bringing together most of its popular features into one simple and high quality app. Vonage Mobile enables the use of an existing mobile identity and contact list, as well as calling to phones without the app at competitive rates. As the year progresses, it will be great to see Vonage’s mobile effort evolve and grow.
