You no longer have to worry about who’s in your 5, your network or whether grandma is part of the family plan. Vonage just announced V-Access, a new service that allows anyone to call Vonage phone numbers for the price of a local call.

Basically, the service provides an access number, which allows people outside of Vonage to call you without paying long-distance charges—including international fees.

Just dial the local access number, enter the Vonage number and start yakking away.

Access numbers for your area are listed on the Vonage web site.

• Free to non-subscribers
• Available in the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Italy, Mexico & Spain
