Edison, NJ, September 16, 2004 - Vonage, the leading provider of broadband phone service, today announced the availability of virtual numbers with Mexico City-based phone numbers.
Vonage's current and future customers can now select Mexico City-based virtual numbers for $4.99 USD/$7.99 CAD per month.

Once again, Vonage responded to its subscriber's inquiries as it's the company's goal to offer consumers the most choice in calling plans," said Jeffrey A. Citron, chairman & CEO of Vonage. "Vonage, which is rapidly becoming the touch point of the telecommunications industry, is very pleased to make keeping in contact with friends and loved ones abroad easier and more convenient by offering a local number as a point of contact, no matter where you are in the world."
