Vonage Mobile Explained
Connecting to Vonage Mobile
A successful Vonage Mobile connection is signified by your balance
displayed in the bottom left hand corner.

the Balance field.
When you are in range of a Wi-Fi signal and not already connected,
the Wi-Fi connector should automatically pop up when you launch the
application.
Select an Access Point and enter the password if required.
Note: This only happens if your iPhone Ask to Join Networks Wi-Fi
setting is on.
11
Vonage Mobile Wi-Fi Calling
From the iPhone home screen open Vonage Mobile.
If a Wi-Fi connection is available, the application will always attempt
to make the call over Wi-Fi. To make Vonage Mobile Wi-Fi calls
simply dial a number as usual and press the Call button.
Alternatively you can do one of the following;
1. Select a contact from the Vonage Mobile Contacts list.
2. Select a History contact.
12
You will be prompted with a message informing you that charges for
Wi-Fi network access may apply and that if you leave the range of the
Wi-Fi signal the call will be dropped. If you receive an incoming call

Vonage Mobile Call Through
Vonage Mobile Call Through allows you to make low cost international calls wherever you have mobile phone
coverage. This means you can use Vonage Mobile for all of your calls, and not just when you have Wi-Fi coverage.
What is a Vonage Mobile Call Through call?
If you dial an international number, the call is automatically redirected to a Vonage Mobile access number* in the
US and then completed to the international destination. This is often at a much lower cost than the international
rates charged by mobile carriers.
*A Vonage Gateway number will display in your handset.
How do I make a Vonage Mobile Call Through call?
From the iPhone home screen open Vonage Mobile.
If you do not have Wi-Fi access, all calls will be placed over your
mobile carrier. This is known as a Vonage Mobile Call Through call.
There are a number of ways that you can initiate at this call.
Simply dial a contact from the Keypad screen or select a contact from
your Contacts or History. You will be prompted with a message
informing you that you will be charged by both your mobile service
provider and Vonage Mobile.
Press OK to acknowledge this message and place your call.
Note This message only appears the first time you make a Vonage
Mobile Call Through Call.
14
Vonage Mobile will now place your call.
If you are using iPhone OS 3.0, a pop up box will appear.
Press the Call button to confirm that you want to place the call.
Note: If you cancel the Vonage Mobile Call Through call you will need
to press the call screen in order to go back to the Vonage Mobile
dialer.
If you are using iPhone OS 3.1, a pop up box does not appear.
15
The Vonage Mobile Call Through call is now in progress.
The local Vonage gateway number will appear as the number being
called.
Note: If you are using iPhone OS 3.1, when you press End Call you
will be returned to the iPhone native dialer
16
Q: What actually happens to the call behind the scenes?
A: Your call is routed via your service provider to a Vonage Mobile local landline number in the US and Vonage
Mobile completes the rest of the call.
Q: What will it cost?
A: Your mobile minutes for the call to the Vonage Mobile access number in the US at the per minute rate charged
by your mobile carrier. (Please note that a data plan will be needed). And if you have selected the Pay Per Use rate
plan, you pay Vonage Mobile low worldwide rates for the international part of the call. If you have selected the
Vonage World Mobile plan and are placing a call to one of the 60 countries included in the plan, the international
part of the call is included in your monthly plan.
Using Twitter
