Vonage (www.vonage.com) has announced that it has rolled out its Vonage Mobile offering/service to AT&T and T-Mobile Android devices… so what about those other (Verizon, Sprint) devices? The Vonage Mobile softclient has been kicking around for a while and is already available on the iPhone, BlackBerry and iPod touch devices (with the iPad no doubt about [...] After plenty of foreshadowing statements on earnings conference calls, Vonage has released Vonage Mobile, a free downloadable application for low-cost international calling on smartphones. The app is said to provide “seamless” low-cost international calling while on Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Vonage says the service will have custmers more than 50 percent on calls to “dozens” of [...] Apparently, someone or someones is interested in pumping Vonage stock this week. Or it may be some people are drinking the Kool-Aid because the stock has gone from under 50 cents a share to over $2 bucks in a weeks time. That whole 300 percent lift gets stock gurus all hot and sweaty… Frost & Sullivan [...] Running around last week, I didn’t have a chance to post anything about Vonage’s unlimited flat-rate calling plan and the throw-in of unlimited “readable” voice mail.

Michael Zema, one of Vonage’s PR guys, outlined the same [...] Over the blogosphere, there’s a lot of buzz about Vonage launching its newest ad campaign focusing on “sounds good” and maybe kinda-sorta-maybe bringing HD voice into the mix. But it appears to be more wishful speculation since the company didn’t touch upon HD voice quality in its annual conference call – the real deal is [...] Tweaking various parts of its operations and doing a little bookkeeping shuffle, Vonage reported EBIDTA of $21 million for the first quarter of 2009 and GAAP net income of $5 million; about $0.03 per share. However, the company is still spending $290 per customer to get customers in the door and had a net [...] Things you might want to know for Thursday, May 7– Cox comes over with a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem for trial. |
