Vonage iPhone App Approved But Not Available

Posted by Erik on September 1st, 2009

We told you we'd let you know when there was news about the impending iPhone app.  Well, there's news.  Sort of.  Vonage announced today in a very brief press release that their iPhone app has been approved.  Here's the the entire text of the release:

Vonage (NYSE: VG) has announced that Apple approved its mobile application for iPhone and iPod Touch. Vonage is currently conducting a beta test and general availability will be announced at a later date.

This new service, along with the recent launch of the Vonage World unlimited calling plan, continues Vonage's heritage of using innovative technology to create significant value for its current and future customers.

Yes – that's it.  No mention of when it might be available, much less what it actually does.  Overall it's certainly good news that it got through Apple's sometimes difficult approval process.  It will be nice when we can actually use it, though.
