Jajah.com disrupts Skype and others VOIP with a new phone calls service
October 1st, 2006 - Posted in VoIPJajah.com, a free web phone calling system which can disrupt telecoms and even existing VOIP services such as Skype.Jajah.com (nice word in Spanish) hits the market with a new level of simplicity: no downloads, headsets or phone adapters.
They got $3 million in funding from Sequoia Capital in 2005, and now they have a million paying customers. For each customer, Jajah is making $10 monthly, and these fees subsidize the free calls. The secret? They have cut deals with many telecoms for access to cheap local last-mile connections, and the long-distance part of the call goes over the Internet.
To get it, you simply use your existing phone; you enter it on Jajah website, and then you enter your the number you wants to call, either local or international. Now you need to have Internet access, but Jajah plans to take the computer out of the call process.
