Endeavor Telecom Announces Residential and SOHO Installation Services for Vonage Customers
Installation and Testing Services can Add Convenience and Simplicity to Vonage Service for Residential and Small Business Customers
September 13, 2006 – Boston, MA – Fall 2006 VON - Endeavor Telecom, the leading provider of private label wholesale professional services to carriers, service providers, VARs, and equipment manufacturers, today announced, that it is providing Vonage America Inc., a subsidiary of Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE: VG), a leading broadband telephone company with a professional installation program for residential and SOHO customers, in 39 cities throughout the United States.
The newly available Vonage professional installation program, performed by Endeavor, extends the Vonage service to every traditional telephone in a residential and SOHO environment. While the Vonage device is easy for a consumer to self-install, Endeavor’s experienced installers can provide the installation service, at the customer’s request. The Vonage/Endeavor installation program will help consumers to realize hassle-free cost-savings on every phone in their home or small office. The cost of the installation starts at $99.95, and also includes professional testing and quality control services.
“Endeavor increases Vonage’s value proposition by giving customers a convenient alternative to self-installation. We understand that some people just don’t want the hassle, nor do they have the time to install Vonage themselves. For those customers who are intimidated by new technologies, professional installation makes the switch to Vonage easy by giving people a hassle-free way to get Vonage set-up in your home or small office,” said Mike Snyder, CEO of Vonage Holdings Corp. “Over the last six months, we’ve witnessed Endeavor’s expertise throughout a successful pilot program, and now through ongoing deployments. Endeavor’s comprehensive installations help to ensure a smooth transition to our service.”
“Vonage is the country’s best-known VoIP brand - and we’re thrilled to play a role in improving the customer experience,” said Justin McLain, executive vice president of Endeavor Telecom. “We share many of the same core values - technical expertise and unprecedented customer service - and we’re honored to align our business with a leader like Vonage.”
