VoIP company Vonage has announced the launch of Vonage Mobile, offering very low-cost international calling for the iPhone and iPod touch (and BlackBerry too). And its free. Interesting move, indeed.

The iPhone app permits calls to be made via Wi-Fi or cellular connection, (the iPod touch is obviously limited to Wi-Fi calling).

A release excerpt from Vonage:

“With Vonage Mobile you can call around the world from home, a Wi-Fi hotspot, or while traveling around the country. Vonage Mobile is easy to use. There are no access numbers or new phone numbers to give to friends and family. Simply enter an international number or select a

contact from the existing contacts on your iPhone or Blackberry and hit send. Vonage does the rest.

This app will give customers exceptional per-minute rates to any country they want to dial. In the fourth quarter 2009, we will enhance the app to include the popular Vonage World plan that was introduced for home service in August. This enhancement extends the ability to make unlimited calls to over 60 countries for one flat monthly fee to mobile users, giving customers the choice to pick the plan that fits them best.”

We applaud this move, and it should put pressure on AT&T to change their rates too.
