Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 20, 2007, the Board of Directors of Vonage Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved amendments to ARTICLE IV, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) to permit the issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares of its stock. This amendment was adopted to allow the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System which will be required of all NYSE-listed companies by January 1, 2008.

The direct registration system enables investors to establish, either through the Company’s transfer agent or through the investor’s broker-dealer, a book-entry position on the books of the Company and to electronically transfer their position through the Depository Trust Company. The system also enables investors to have securities registered in their name without having a physical certificate issued.

The description of the amendment to the By-laws contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the amendment to the By-laws, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
