2007 was a challenging year for the group that is Vonage, and I’ll hedge a bet that they’re mighty happy that not only is 2007 over, but that they are able to start the new year off with a clean slate. And they’ve done it with a bang. Last week saw the introduction of their newest product strategy, ”MyVonage,” which will be focused on “introducing products, services and features that fit into a customer’s given lifestyle and support the way they want to communicate.” As the initial step in their new strategy, Vonage introduced V-Portal last week, the first in a group of Vonage-branded products. V-Portal is a “digital voice adapter and single port router with a built-in liquid crystal display (LCD), and Contact Book, an innovative one-stop communication hub with useful features such as group calling and voice activated dialing, giving customers more control over how they can communicate.”
“At Vonage, we believe technology, not Telco’s, will drive the future of communications,” said Jeffrey Citron, Chairman, Chief Strategist, and Interim CEO, in a recent press release. “Vonage is more than a new technology for landline replacement. We are dedicated to delivering new solutions that empower the consumer and we envision a day when people can communicate without boundaries; when, where and how they want.”
“With the V-Portal(TM), we are starting a trend of making innovative Vonage-branded products relevant and responsive to the way our customers communicate,” said Daniel Smires, Senior Vice President of Engineering. “The V-Portal(TM) expands upon what customers typically expect from a router, and is the closest thing to having a customer care agent with them in their home.”
The V-Portal(TM) is available now on Vonage’s website for $9.99 after a $70 instant rebate. Go get ‘em.
