No. You are completely incorrect. There is no cost to use the app whatsoever. I am not talking about the Vonage app. The app is called Extensions. It is a Vonage app provided to people who have Vonage accounts. You may link 2 mobile numbers to your Vonage account and you then use the Extensions app. Totally different thing. There is zero cost to use the Extensions app. The calls are free (subject to your Vonage plan).

Plus, there is no one year committment to Vonage. It is month to month. Do you actaully use Vonage? I am doubting you do as you are quite misinformed. I have Vonage accounts in two different countries.

Extensions App:
Link up to two mobile phone numbers to your Vonage service so you can make calls for the same rates as your Vonage home phone when you are on the go. Depending on your Vonage plan, calls to and from the Extensions® App are free to landline and mobile numbers* in 60+ countries.

If you have an iPhone or Android, download the Extensions® App to make and receive calls on the go.
If you do not have an iPhone or Android, link any mobile phone numberand make calls on the go.


The app you are talking about - big difference:
To use the Vonage Mobile App, a Vonage calling plan is not needed. Instead, purchase talk credits so you can make low cost international calls on up to five linked devices. You can additionally talk, text and exchange video chats worldwide for free with other Vonage Mobile users.

Vonage offers three apps that can be downloaded to your iPhone or Android phone: Vonage Extensions, Vonage Mobile and Vonage Business.
