Vonage Submits Voice App For iPhone – Will likely come with handy crippled 3G functionality

August 27th, 2009 admin

Vonage this week submitted a VoIP application to Apple for use on the iPhone, a move that at one point this week drove the company’s stock price up some 36%. Apple says that so far they haven’t approved the application because of a mislabeled icon, something Vonage says they’ve already fixed in a re-submitted application . As was disclosed during last week’s Apple, AT&T and Google Voice kerfuffle , expect the 3G functionality of the app to be crippled, given AT&T’s contract with Apple prohibits any application that uses “AT&T’s cellular network service to originate or terminate a VoIP session without obtaining AT&T’s permission.” For the good of the, uh, network of course — and not at all because AT&T wants to protect voice revenues from the natural evolutionary path of wireless broadband.
