Vonage let me know that they just released a free BlackBerry app that lets you take advantage of their cheaper long distance rates. Personally I use Telna for long distance but Vonage is pretty solid. The calls are dialed directly from the phone but don’t go over VoiP so you are still charged local minutes on your cellphone.
From the description:
Users can download the app for BlackBerry here. Vonage Mobile international rates save users more than 50% in dozens of countries as compared to wireless carriers. Best of all, they can use their existing mobile numbers, contacts and device interface to place the calls. Just use your existing contact list and click and dial – no extra steps. Users also receive real-time balance updates to ensure they always make the calls they want. The app utilizes your existing cell phone number so people recognize who is calling.
Thanks to everybody else who also sent this in!
