Vonage's Time to Call App: 15 Free Minutes, International Calling and a Free iPad 2!

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad)" @ 10:40 AM

Time to Call is a free app from Vonage, that lets you make phone calls (including international calls) from your iPhone or iPad 2 at very affordable rates. And as a bonus, they are giving you 15 minutes of calling time when you download the app using this link. The cool thing about this app is that it uses your iTunes account to pay for the minutes, so you don't have to mess around with calling cards or getting an operator involved. All you do is make the call and it will subtract the charges direct from your iTunes account. The rates are pretty reasonable too as outlined in the details below:

  • Pay per call and talk up to 15 minutes to 100 countries for $1.99 or less (not including taxes)
  • For an additional 90+ countries, talk up to 15 minutes for $2.99 to $9.99 (not including taxes)
  • Works on WiFi internationally, 3G in the US and Canada
  • FREE download - No need to be a Vonage home customer
  • LIMITED TIME OFFER: Download now and call up to 15 minutes for FREE.

If you go to the Vonage site, you can easily find out how much your 15 minutes of calling time will be as it is based on the country you are calling. Simply select the country from the drop down list and it gives you the cost in US Dollars. Pretty simple. For example, calling Argentina will set you back $1.99 USD for 15 minutes of calling time, of course that is not including the 15 free minutes you get just for downloading the app. And make sure to read on to find out how to win an iPad 2 from Vonage as part of their promotion for the new app.

Vonage for iPhone/iPod Touch

"Those looking to make cheap international calls via their iPhone may not yet be able to do so using a native Google Voice application, but that hasn't stopped VoIP company Vonage from offering similar capabilities in its new app for iPhone and iPod touch."

If you already use Vonage, this doesn't connect you to your account. This is a pay-as-you-go account. You have to set up a new account, and you get $1.00 USD credit as a reward for your trouble. You also get Twitter as part of the app for posting how exciting your international call making ability is, and then reading about it later. The apps, one for iPhone and one for iPod Touch, are both free.

Vonage Pro User? Companion is now Available for Mac

"Vonage, the international VoIP provider, has just released its Vonage Companion software for OS X. Vonage Companion is available to users who subscribe the the Vonage Pro plan and it basically allows users to use their laptops or desktops to make or receive phone calls. Think of it as Skype but for your Vonage account."

I don't have Vonage, but this sounds like a pretty slick interface. As long as you have a Vonage Pro account, you can record calls, set up conference calls, block calls, transfer calls, etc. This makes it possible for you to make and receive calls from the road using your existing Vonage account, from your laptop. The program works with OS X 10.4.11 Tiger and OS X 10.5 Leopard, and is free for Vonage Pro customers. You can check out the PDF Manual at Vonage if you want to learn more, or download it here.
