Back in January, we described "MyVonage" Vonage product strategy, which included a number of planned improvements for the next generation to subscribers Vonage.
Today, Vonage announced the launch of Vonage Pro, a new service designed to provide customers with access to their Vonage home phone while traveling. Vonage Pro will allow customers to access their phone number from any computer with access to high speed Internet connection. With Vonage Companion, a SoftPhone client next generation, customers can make and receive calls using the built-in microphone of their PC and speakers or use a headset with a microphone. Incoming calls ring on the customer's home phone and Vonage Companion. Customers can also use both devices at the same time, which essentially provides a second phone line. Vonage Companion also offers customer requested features such as selective call block, conference calling, personalized ringtones and call recording.
This type of remote access VoIP service is the first of its kind from any VoIP provider. Vonage Pro comes with Vonage Residential Unlimited Plan, and will be available for new customers for a flat amount of $ 34.99 per month, plus tax. As part of an initial promotion, the first month is free. Existing customers already on unlimited upscale residential Plan can add Vonage Pro for an extra $ 10 per month, and the first month is free for those clients.
