I would use this app to call friends in Germany. At the moment I use a phone card with my land line and it is a total pain. When the minutes on the phone card eventually run out, then I would like to go to a better system. "Time to Call" might be that better system.
As for my suggestion to your developer, I think you might want to overhaul the look of your entire website. Honestly it is really not very easy or pleasant to read or browse. Maybe find some sites that have a better look and go for something like that. I like the format of the Gear Diary site a lot. It is very easy to read and navigate. The Gadgeteer is also well done, but more for the pictures. I wouldn't say your website is as bad as a Dr. Bronner's soap bottle, but it comes close. I agree with a lot of the suggestions previous posters have made. I am not trying to be mean, just constructive.

I don't keep in touch as much as I should with my relatives in Taiwan. Mainly because phone calls are expensive. With Vonage Time to Call I can call them more often
As for site feature I like to see a search bar so I can search for what I'm looking for

My family has always sponsored exchange students from around the world. We have former students from France, Japan, Brazil and Kyrgyzstan, and we'd love to be able to talk to them more often!

I would use the time to call my son in Germany I have not seen him in 22 years and it is very expensive for me to call him.
Please add a search button.

My name is Brittany Hardy, and I liked the FB page. I also tweeted and am @fathomMYlove on Twitter.
I would use the Vonage Time to Call app to call my grandma while I'm studying abroad in Spain. I love my grandma to death and can't go one day without talking to her!

I think the site needs new vibrant colors like orange, blue, green, etc.! It needs something that makes it stand out. Also, I think a Twitter or Facebook widget would be really nice to add so that fans can keep up with what's going on!

I'd use this to call my BFF when she heads to Japan with her military husband soon. She'll be there for a 3 years and it'll be tough. But I'm proud of the sacrifices her family makes.
