It seems strange to report something positive about Vonage not once, but now twice in a row. Just yesterday we heard how they were getting some more cash to stay afloat and that we could expect a new CEO soon, and today they have added a new calling plan.

The new plan is dubbed the Vonage Pro and will allow users to use their home number to make or receive calls anywhere they happen to have an Internet connection. The new plan will include a new version of the Vonage SoftPhone client and comes with the same features as the current unlimited residential plan.

Customers will be able to send or receive calls from both their home phone and the SoftPhone and have the caller ID show the home number. In addition they will also be able to make two calls at the same time, meaning someone can make a call from the home phone as well as the VoIP client. The Vonage Pro account will set new users back $34.99 a month, or current unlimited calling customers can upgrade for an extra $10 bucks a month.

According to Vonage’s chief marketing officer Jamie Haenggi they have “already received feedback from beta users that indicates Vonage Pro will be a success, both in the quality of the phone service and the unique features it offers.”

We can only hope that is true, personally I have been a Vonage fan and am pleasantly surprised to see them making a comeback, when for a while it seemed like they were going to be down for the count.
