Jajah

Guy mentions the web telephony service Jajah, which looks interesting, especially when compared to Skype. Unlike the latter, Jajah doesn't require you to download any software, and you use your own phone. This is just about as dead-simple telephony as you can get. You enter your phone number, then the number you're calling, then hit the Call button. Your phone rings, you answer, then it rings the number you're calling. That's it. So, like Skype, you can call internationally really cheap. Unlike Skype, you can dial Guadalajara, then chat on your mobile with the golf pro who took three strokes off your game, all while you drive to your local course. Personally, I've never had much use for Skype. I haven't called internationally in ten years, easy. Calls within the borders of the U.S. are covered adequately by my mobile phone plan. And if I were calling internationally, I may not want to be tied to the computer when doing so. Should I have the need, I can certainly see myself favoring Jajah.
