Announced today, the company's new Extensions service links your existing home internet calling plan to extra phone numbers -- like a cellphone-- for free, so you can make that long-distance call to Tante Lulu in Gstaad on-the-go.

Okay, so the feature isn't exactly gratis -- you're still required to sign up for an unlimited international calling plan , but the bucks literally stop there. All it takes to get started with this "virtual calling card" is an access number and some foreign digits. Sound too complicated for you? Don't fret, official iPhone and Android-compatible apps are scheduled to hit their respective markets in the coming weeks.

All calls to your Vonage number, will ring your home phone and the app. Take advantage of your Vonage calling plan when you are on the go. You will know an incoming call is to your Vonage number or to your mobile number. Calls you make from the app will use your home Vonage number as your caller ID.
