Free Calls When Traveling: Vonage's Cell Offer Explored

Vonage offers a variety of plans to its customers, including the Vonage Extensions App, which allows users to make and receive calls on their smartphones. The app can be downloaded from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and linked to the user's Vonage service. One can then make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. The app is free to use and can be linked to up to two or three smartphones, depending on the source. It is available on iPhone and Android devices.

Vonage Extensions App for iPhone or Android

The Vonage Extensions App for iPhone or Android allows you to make and receive calls on the go, including internationally, by linking your Vonage service to up to two mobile or landline phone numbers. This means that you can take your Vonage phone with you and never miss a call or the chance to place an international call when you are not at home.

The app is free to download and use, and you can link two phone numbers per calling plan at no extra cost. All calls ring your Vonage home phone and up to two phones linked by the app. You can also place calls over Wi-Fi, which is useful in low coverage areas or when travelling internationally.

To set up the app, you will need to enter your 10-digit mobile phone number and confirm, enter your online account credentials and accept the terms of service. You can then choose to register for Wi-Fi calling and make and receive calls.

The Vonage Extensions App also allows you to:

• Block unwanted callers
• Select your outbound Caller ID display
• Specify the connection type for outbound calls
• Intercept and return calls to up to 10 international phone numbers using the Boomerang feature

Linking a mobile phone to Vonage

Vonage allows you to link your service to up to two U.S. mobile or landline phone numbers. When you make a call from a linked phone number, you must use an Access Number and your Security PIN to ensure you are billed at the same low rates as your Vonage home phone.

If you have an iPhone or Android, you can link your Vonage service using the Extensions App and make and receive calls on your smartphone. The Extensions App gives you the option of using your Vonage service over Wi-Fi, which is useful in poor coverage areas and when travelling abroad.

Using Vonage abroad

Vonage offers a number of ways to stay connected when travelling internationally. The Vonage Extensions App allows you to make and receive calls on your smartphone by linking your Vonage service to up to two US mobile or landline phone numbers. The app is free to download and you can link two phone numbers per calling plan at no extra cost.

The Extensions App is available on iPhone and Android and can be used to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi, which is useful when travelling abroad as it helps you avoid roaming charges. You can also use the app to make and receive calls over a cellular connection, but standard data rates will apply.

If you don't have an iPhone or Android, you can still link your Vonage service to any mobile or landline phone number. When making a call from a linked phone number, you must use an Access Number and your Security PIN to ensure you are billed at the same low rates as your Vonage home phone.

If you have a Vonage plan, you can also use the Vonage Mobile App to make free high-definition voice and video calls, and send free texts, photos and video messages to anyone with the app, anywhere in the world. However, calls made outside of Wi-Fi networks will use your data plan and data-usage rates may apply.

If you are taking your Vonage Box with you when you travel, you may need to purchase a travel adapter if your outlet is not a traditional US 2-pin flat socket. You will also need an RJ11 phone cable with the same plug on each end to connect your telephone. The Vonage Box can handle any power voltage between 100V and 240V AC.
