What Is Jajah?

There are two ways to talk about Jajah, Jajah today and Jajah tomorrow. Both versions are off the charts, in terms of their "cool factor".

Jajah today: Jajah is a simple, elegant 2.o app that lets you make "regular" phone calls, anywhere  on the planet - either for free or for very, little money, depending on where you are calling. What you do: you go to our website, enter your own phone number, enter the phone number of who you want to call, then press the "call" button.

After you hit "call" , your phone will ring, your friends phone will ring - you both answer and you talk. You've basically instructed our server to make two local calls - which is one of the reasons it's so cheap.

For you Skype Types out there - With Jajah, there is NO download, NO Software, NO Headsets, NO Hassle. With Jajah you are making a regular call, just dialing it from our 2.0 app.

To get up to speed fast about Jajah, check us out on YouTube (Newscasts and "How To's"). Very informative.

Jajah Tomorrow:  We are still playing around with the language, "Voice 2.0", "Hybrid Telephony" ? Here is what we know. The way you think about voice communication is about to dramatically change. Sounds crazy, but it's not. The telephone industry has a lot of good things to offer (phones work) but it's staged for big time disruption. Not unlike the music industry, it is very resistant to changing its behaviors - leaving it completely exposed to innovative start-ups (like us) who will bring high value , and very cool solutions to everyday consumers - at a fraction of the price, and in a fraction of the time.

Embedded Telephony - Today , most of us think in terms of  "pick up the phone, dial, talk". But Jajah sees a world where calls are not device or telephone centric. Already today, Jajah lets you make a regular phone call directly from within applications, like Outlook and Firefox - just click the number on the  browser page or in the address book, and Jajah connects your call. Often for free. No Kidding. This stuff actually works.

Look very interesting. I would like to see their marketing campaigns globally.

Probably one of the most important buttons to use with the public is the fact that you dont need a headset. I remember my mom trying to use skype... she downloaded the software, dialed my number and pressed the call button.. My phone rang, i picked up... and couldnt hear a thing. it turned out my mom's computer didnt have a microphone. She had to go buy one, and that was annoying. True, most computers today have a built in microphone.. but still... the sound that comes out sometimes is horrible and has a lag.

I would like to see how jajah solved the sound issue....

On the other side, one unfavorable factor for jajah is the fact that if you travel around the world, and connect to the internet at an internet cafe, there is no local phone you can use. unless it is your cellphone which in that case.. wil be more expensive than skype...

Let's see what happens and what jajah does with the market.

Interesting…Worth mentioning for those not so keen in new technologies that "10-10" long distance services are also a very popular an easy alternative to enjoy cheap long distance calls. How it works? You simply dial the "10-10" plan's 7-digit access code, and then the area code and number you wish to call - and receive the discounted rates offered by the "10-10" company. This is an easy way to take advantage of lower rates - without having to sign-up, internet or switching your long distance company. The Internet is a great resource for finding the rates and numbers of "10-10" companies in your area.

For example, you can now call Australia, Canada and most European countries for only 1¢ per minute by simply calling 1010228 before each call (e.g. 1010228 + 011 + country code + number you wish to call). http://www.1010228.com is one of the leading discount "10-10" numbers in the US for interstate and international calls.
