Make way for Jajah
Jaja announces Jajah Mobile.
The original version of Jajah enabled people to make VOIP calls from any phone to any phone. The best part is thatJjajah operates without a download, installation, a new phone number or allowing your computer to be used in P2P network.
Till now, it was difficult for users of normal phones to access VOIP services directly and get cheaper rates on phone calls. They almost always had to be in front of a computer to initiate a call, or go through a complicated call-hang up-and call-back procedure.
Now Jajaj is what I call technology made simple. All the users have to do is initiate the call with a computer by going to the website of Jajah. What next? Turn your computer off and wander off!
The user needs to register with Jajah, to use this new service. A cell phone, which supports the technology (check out their homepage to see if your cell phone is compatible). Jajah currently supports phones with the Symbian operating system. Support for other phones, including Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Treo, will come later this year.
Once a user is registered, Jajah sends a MMS message to his / her phone. And once the user confirms the message a Java application is downloaded to the phone and can be easily configured by the user. After the configuration, the Jajah software is able to handle some certain types of calls made from the phone, which bypass the carrier entirely.
When the user places a call, Jajah routes the call to its own local number, moves the call over VOIP to the destination and calls the recipient via a local number where they are located.
Jajah simply re-routes the call through the normal telephone lines. But here's a catch, the software needs to properly install on a phone to begin with, which may be too much for those who are uncomfortable with such stuff on. Watch out for this space for more.
