Jajah Announces Free Calls

Jajah announced free long-distance calls yesterday. This offer is for landline and cell phone calls from and to the countries listed below. Just a reminder: Jajah is the Internet phone service that enables you to use any phone to call any phone without installing any software or being connected to the computer once the call is initiated.

This offer applies to:

Landline and mobile calls to and within the US, Canada, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

Landline, but not mobile calls, to and within Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea South, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, UK, Venezuela

More rate information is available here.

For free calling, both parties must be registered Jajah users, and the calls must be between the registered numbers. The rest of the fair-use policy is:

The Jajah “fair use” policy simply asks all our users to “play fair” and behave in a manner that best serves the greater calling community. We ask that our users limit their free hours to about one hour a day, five hours a week and about a 1,000 minutes a month. If they use it much more than that, then we ask that they also use some paid Jajah services such as text messaging or scheduled calling. If we determine that over time, someone’s behavior does not favor the overall community of users, we simply ask him to pay for the exceeded amount.”

I'm with Alfie. It is kind of confusing.

Personally I think the telephone is dead. One day everyone will communicate by using pigeons.

I'm confused; jajah allows free international calls to a landline or cellphone, but the recipient must be a registered jajah user? Does that then mean that their landline or cell has to be registered with jajah?

All great that they're offering free calls, but isn't this just a marketing drive to accelerate signups?

It is an interesting and a sure useful product. I get the feeling that this also competes with Gizmo, Skype and the IM stuff but it is less hassle sort of. It has its own hassle factor, unless someone builds an interface for my Treo ....hmmmm....

The trick is that both sides must be active which means that both sides have to pay some money before.

That's good but i still used the yahoo messenger.
