Features of Jajah

I believe everybody heard about Skype before. Skype is one of the biggest internet phone provider for now. For more information on it can access www.skype.com

Now I would review another newcomer which is Jajah. The website for it is www.jajah.com. I started using it sometimes ago and find it is quite nice and easy to use. So that’s why I want to share it here.

I will do it by comparing between Skype,the wellknown one with Jajah,relatively new comer as follow :

1. You do not need to install any software for Jajah. Everything is web based. It is different with Skype which required you to download and install software before you can use it. One of the straight advantage is you can use Jajah from any computer especially the computers which you do not have the privileges to install anything on it ( for example computer in internet stall / Warung Internet in Indonesian term ).

2. You use your own handphone /mobilephone when you really make a call instead of headphone or USB phone like Skype.

The procedure actually quite simple :

• You log in
• You dial the destination number
• Then your phone ring and get connected with your destination number
  

The clarity is quite good and the good thing of it is more on the psychological effect as normally people speak using their handphone/mobilephone instead of headphone/USB phone.

3. SMS feature of it

I tried the SMS feature of it for sometimes with destination to Indonesia,Singapore and Taiwan. It went well so far. Whenever you send sms from it then the sms message will show additional text explaining the use of Jajah for sending the sms. I plan to send sms to more countries to test how good the capability of Jajah system in the future.

Skype also has sms feature but I never really use it so much so can not comment on it.

4. There is business account like what Skype already offer.

Several features of it as follow :

a. Multiple Users with one Invoice

Add and manage multiple users with your account. Set individual limits and retrieve a monthly invoice for all your activities.

b."Call me" Button for your Website

Add a "Call me" button to your homepage - and use the 1-800 option to offer your customers toll free phone calls. Just a few clicks to get the ready to go code snippet!

c.Embed JAJAH call functionality in your Website / Application with the JAJAH API

Use JAJAH call functionality within your Website or Application - our powerful JAJAH API gives you access to individual embedded phone-to-phone services instantly.

5. Phone to phone calls between registered Jajah users are free. Somewhat similar feature of Skype.
6. Jajah is free for a trial call up to 5 minutes to any landline destination.Actually it is a good offer to come and test Jajah by ourselves before deciding to sign in and pay for the service in the future. I used the free trial at that time to send sms messages to Singapore and Indonesia and it finally made me decided to sign in for the future service from them.

Well,that so far several features which I observe as user and think worth comparing with Skype,the biggest internet phone provider so far in the world. Go test and try Jajah today !!!

Cheers,
