Hybrid calls: Phone to phone via the web

Hybrid calls: Phone to phone via the web,JaJah* is an internet telephony provider allowing anyone with web access to make cheap or even free calls via normal landlines or mobiles. There's no need to download software, all you do is register; and then enter the number you want to call from and to on its website. Your landline will ring and then when you've picked it up Jajah will call the destination number you entered.

How much does it cost?

The sign-up rate is totally free and so are calls, providing:
A. Both you and the person you're calling are registered.
B. You're both using either a landline in Europe, Australia, New Zealand or Taiwan or a landline or mobile in the US, Canada, China, Singapore of Hong Kong

If not you will be charged (see charge list). However either way, do note you have to keep the account active, which means you need to make a free call, a cheap call or a text message every 2 weeks.

How does it work?
Jajah makes use of both VOIP and normal landlines using voip for the major part of the call, then switching to the normal telephone system for the last leg. This means it can offer cheap rates but the call quality is surprisingly good.

Fair Usage Policy

It operates a fair usage policy; which basically asks you to be reasonable and limit to your free calls to an hour a day five days a week. This is sufficient for most but if you go over that use the International CallChecker, a non-commercial webtool that tells you the cheapest override provider for any call type or overseas country to find cheap rates.



Enjoy to talk with VoIP !
