Vonage, the VoIP company, are updating their services for those customer paying for the $24.99/month plan. The first new feature called Vonage World will allow unlimited calls across the world to over 60 countries. This will cover about 4.5 billion people (2/3 of the population). Previously unlimited calls were allowed just for the US, Canada and 5 other European countries. Bumping that up to over 60 is a fantastic move.
