Vonage Launches Next-Generation Nexmo Voice API to Capitalize on Surging Cloud Communications Platform Market

SINGAPORE – September 14, 2016 – Vonage (NYSE:VG)
(“the Company’), a leading provider of cloud communications for business, has
launched a next-generation voice API through
recently-acquired communications platform, Nexmo. Integrated with Vonage’s
carrier-grade network, which terminates 15 billion minutes of global voice
traffic annually to landline and mobile phones, the new Nexmo API provides a
higher quality programmable voice experience than what is competitively
available in the market today.

The Nexmo Voice API enables developers to build modern
enterprise communications customized for any app, website or voice-based
communications system, faster and easier than its previous APIs. The Nexmo
voice API also enables integrations with existing business workflow software to
drive enhanced productivity. This next-gen voice API allows companies to create
communications solutions that can increase customer engagement and enhance the
customer experience with just a few lines of code.

“When Vonage purchased Nexmo only a few months ago, we
knew we could pair Nexmo’s APIs with Vonage’s voice network to deliver a higher
quality programmable voice experience to the market,” said Alan Masarek, Vonage
CEO. “We are encouraged by the speed with which we were able to bring enhanced
voice capabilities to the Nexmo platform to accelerate the launch of the new
voice API.”

Mr. Masarek continued, “This launch represents a
tangible example of the power of the combination of Vonage and Nexmo, and the unmatched
value proposition that we envisioned. With the new voice API, Nexmo adds to its
strength in global messaging and pioneering work with chat apps, creating a
formidable and complete set of APIs that further solidify Vonage’s leadership
in the two most dominant forms of communication today, voice and
messaging.”

Based on flexible and open standards, the new Nexmo
Voice API allows developers to easily add capabilities like conferencing, call
recording and call control to a company’s workflow, backed by the quality,
strength and reliability of the Vonage network. The new API is also perfectly
positioned to integrate emerging technology software like bots, artificial
intelligence and deep data analysis into new and existing voice solutions.

Nexmo also has the largest global reach of any communications platform
with the ability to provision local numbers to 85 countries, enabling companies
to quickly scale their voice communications to meet global expansion needs. The
new voice API joins Nexmo’s industry-leading
global SMS API, innovative Chat App API and critical ID Verification API to create a powerful, easy-to-use
suite of communications tools that are revolutionizing the way developers build
communications software into applications that are transforming how companies
connect with their customers.

“Building enterprise-grade voice applications used to be a complex and
expensive task. But the new voice API will allow developers to effortlessly
create modern voice capabilities with open, agile and globally scalable
architectures, enabling customized communications solutions to enrich customer
conversations and deepen customer relationships,” said Tony Jamous, president
of the Nexmo API Platform. “We are excited to have Vonage’s industrial-strength
network and second-to-none voice capabilities behind the new API, and the speed
with which Vonage was able to help accelerate this launch surpassed our
expectations.”

The Nexmo Voice API will launch with a collection of
new features and will be expanded over time. Notable launch features include:
