Want to make international calls at a discounted rate through your Vonage number? There's an app for that. Today, Vonage Mobile is available in the iTunes App Store for download to the iPod Touch and the iPhone, and it's also been made available for Blackberry users.
Vonage Mobile allows users to make pay-as-you-go Vonage international calls over a WiFi connection without using any of their cell phone minutes. Users just pay Vonage's discounted international calling rates. If there is no WiFi network available, the app does not make SIP calls over the EDGE or HSDPA network, but instead connects calls through a local U.S. number--using call minutes--and then taps into Vonage's calling network, charging the user Vonage-based international rates rather than regular international calling rates.
