Jajah Direct provides VoIP without the Internet

VoIP provider, Jajah, has introduced Jajah Direct, which provides VoIP calls without the need to be connected to the Internet.

Users simply call a local access number, then input the number of the phone they wish to call. Jajah Direct then sends them a number, usually by text message. When called, this number connects with the person the user wishes to talk to.

The system removes the need for headsets, or being tied to a computer, and provides free or low-rate international calls.

A Jajah account is free and can be set up over the phone. Jajah’s website - www.jajah.com - provides a local access number, and information on calling rates to both landlines and mobiles.

Jajah has expanded its infrastructure with the installation of 260 switches in 66 countries. Switches and server farms in New York City, London, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo act as master VoIP controllers.

Developing its own infrastructure allows Jajah to pass on savings to customers rather than to middlemen wholesalers and has allowed it to launch Jajah Direct.
