JAJAH Mobile VoIP client for the iPhone

2008-04-02T13:21:28Z

JAJAH, today announced that it is building on its current Apple iPhone call-back offering by participating in the iPhone Developer Program "to create possibly the first native global VoIP application." Sorry, Jajah, but truphone beat you to it with their 100% native VoIP solution for the iPhone. The new JAJAH VoIP application is expected to be available this summer, close to the iPhone 2.0 software release.

JAJAH already supports its web-activated telephony call back solution on a custom-skinned website for the iPhone, accessible via the integrated Safari web browser at http://iphone.jajah.com.

The new JAJAH Mobile VoIP client for the iPhone will enable two ways to make free or low-cost global calls to any phone in the world:
1) JAJAH's known callback service ideal for low bandwidth locations
2) the sole use of a Wi-Fi network. Steve Jobs will only allow VoIP on the iPhone over WiFi and not over the cellular network (EDGE & soon GSM).

"JAJAH was one of the first in line to support the launch of the iPhone. Now with the release of the iPhone SDK, we are excited to develop a native VoIP application that will improve productivity and enhance the communication capabilities of mobile professionals with added security," said Frederik Hermann, Director, Global Marketing. "JAJAH adds global mobile VoIP functionality and with enterprise level support, soon companies will give employees a choice of an iPhone vs. the BlackBerry."

JAJAH has proven to be ahead of the curve with its Mobile VoIP offerings, including enhancing the world's first mobile broadband operator EMobile with a pre-installed native VoIP SIP client on all of EMobile's EM One handheld devices, as seen here:

All third-party Apple iPhone applications will be made available exclusively through the Apple App Store which can be accessed over-the-air on the iPhone itself, or loaded via iTunes on a computer. Until the date of the new VoIP application release, users can already enjoy JAJAH's existing callback service through http://iphone.jajah.com

I was studying abroad for several months and Jajah saved my life (well you know what I mean). But I kept me connected with all my friends back in the states and my hubby in the military. I wish this product was available when I was abroad last year - especially with no per minute charges.

Now that I'm back in the states I'm looking for a great VoIP provider. Lingo looks great as does Vonage and PowerPhone. I looked at several sites and www.wikicalls.com is running a couple ads this month, so maybe I'll go with them or with a VoIP provider directly. Either way I'm glad VoIP is making the mover over here. Anyway Jajah should too ;)

The good: Jajah provides high-quality, inexpensive long-distance calling without the hassle of contracts, software installation, or hardware.

The bad: Dial-up users have had mixed success with Jajah. If you're on the road traveling and want to change your registered numbers, you'll have to contact Jajah support to do it for you.

I wonder how long it will take, until the chinese companies like CECT will copy this once again...

I don't know but I just bought the Cect Buy, Sell & Make Offers can't wait to get it. I may purchase the iPhone once the price drops a bit. It's still out of my reach at this point in time.

Apple iphone is quite technological sophisticated phone they should allow voip services to be used over edge and 3g. Then whats the use of technical advancement if we dont use them to optimum level.
