There is no doubt that internet telephony is the way forward. Many ideas are revealed these years. Not to forget Skype that was sold to eBay for around USD 3.5 BN.
This new service from jajah.com deserves a mention - and an incouragement for all friend and family to sign up.
The charge to call a non registered user is reasonable but the real benefit comes when both parties are registered, as the call from landline to landline (or from mobile to mobile) is then completely free .
How it works is basically that the caller logs into jajah.com and makes a selection of whom to call (address book or dial-pad) and from which phone he/she wishes to call from. The callers phone will ring and then shortly after the recipient is called.
Initially before subscription, you get 5 minutes of free talktime, which I used on a quality test of the service by calling my Dad. He was busy cutting down the apple-tree in the garden!!!
The quality from UK landline to DK landline is top notch.
Even when you subscribe you get around GBP 1.88 (presumably the equivalent of USD 3.00) to enable you start talking.
So please subscribe and lets enjoy free communication as long as it will last...
