Vonage Launches New Unlimited Calling Plan to the Philippines in Partnership with Globe Telecom

The plan provides unprecedented savings, with unlimited1 calling to all Globe Telecom numbers, deeply-discounted rates for all other calls to the Philippines, and unlimited U.S. calling.

Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG), a leading provider of communication services connecting individuals through cloud-connected devices worldwide, in partnership with a leading Philippine telecommunications company, Globe Telecom, announces an exclusive new calling plan. The plan combines unlimited1 calling to all of Globe's more than 31 million mobile and wireline subscribers, with Vonage's ultra-low per minute rate to all other numbers in the Philippines. Additionally, the plan provides unlimited calling to the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and 60 other countries around the world. The innovative Vonage Extensions™ service, which allows calls from mobile phones, is also included for no additional charge.

The new plan, Vonage® Unlimited to Globe® Philippines, is available immediately at a flat rate of $29.99 per month (plus taxes and fees). The plan is the result of the recently-announced collaboration between Vonage and Globe. The partnership marks a significant milestone in Vonage's strategy to expand internationally.

"Our strategic partnership with Globe allows us to provide a low-cost, simple to use calling solution for the three and a half million Filipinos living in the U.S.," said Kimberly O'Loughlin, Managing Director for International Markets for Vonage. "With our new plan, the Filipino community can affordably stay connected with friends and family abroad without the worry of counting calling card minutes or managing expensive long distance costs. We are exploring additional alliances and plan to announce at least one additional partnership this year."

"We are happy to launch with Vonage our first foray into the VoIP arena for inbound calling from the U.S.," said Rizza Maniego-Eala, Group Head for International Business for Globe Telecom. "This collaboration between Globe and Vonage presents a firm promise that we will continue to stay attuned to the needs of our market, developing products that are truly relevant and competitive."

The new plan can be purchased online, via telesales, and at select Seafood City locations in California. Additionally, Vonage will participate in several upcoming Filipino fiestas in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Secaucus, N.J. to introduce the new calling plan to Filipinos living in the U.S. More information about the plan as well as dates and locations of all events can be found at www.ph.vonage.com.
