The company added 8,058 net subscriber lines in the third quarter 2010 and finished the quarter with more than 2.4 million lines in service.

Vonage CEO Marc Lefar said the announcement of global refinancing marks a major milestone in the continued transformation of their company and in many ways. It is the culmination of the significant and sustained improvements they’ve achieved in their operating performance over the past two years.

"With the stabilisation of our customer base, our strong cash flow and a transformed capital structure, we have a very strong platform on which we can continue to build the future of Vonage," Lefar said.
