Jajah

What is JAJAH

Jajah is a VoIP (Voice over IP) provider. Jajah's primary service takes an approach called web-activated telephony, using VoIP to connect traditional phones (landline or mobile). Calls are made without download or user-installed software. Rates are lower than traditional phone companies or even free of charge when both call participants are registered as JAJAH.

Jajah Web

Jajah Web connects existing traditional landline or mobile phones with calls that are set up via Jajah's Web site.

To place a call:
• Go to Jajah web site at http://www.jajah.com/
• Log in using your user ID and password (registration is free)
• Enter your phone number
• Enter the desired destination number
• The Jajah service first rings your phone
• After the caller picks up the phone, the destination telephone rings and the connection is established.
Jajah works with any standard web browser. It does not require a broadband connection, nor is it necessary to be online when using the service, but it is necessary to have internet access to originate the call.
Dial-up internet users without a second phone line must schedule their call to be placed a few minutes in the future in order to allow for the time required to disconnect from their ISP and free up the phone line.

Jajah Free Global Calling

Jajah's service is limited to specified geographic areas, and Jajah has also adopted a Fair Use Policy which limit the amount of free Jajah calls.
Calls between registered Jajah users are free of charge for landline and mobile calls within the USA, Canada, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and apply also for landline calls to and within most European countries as well as Argentina, Australia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico City, New Zealand, Venezuela and Zambia.
A further limitation is that scheduled calls and conference calls cannot be free. In addition, calls are only free if money is paid into a user's Jajah account.

Technology

The process of establishing calls between two regular landline or mobile phones via VoIP is shown below.

Magic Jack

What is MagicJack
The MagicJack is a device the size of a matchbox that acts as a phone jack for the PC and lets consumers or small businesses plug in their existing phones to make free local and long-distance calls. MagicJack turns a PC into a communications hub. MagicJack has a USB end that plugs into your computer and a phone jack on the other end that plugs in a telephone. In other words, your phone service provider runs your calls through the Internet, through your computer, to your normal telephone.
