iPhones and Jajah

It will be interesting to see what bucket plans Cingular creates to compliment the iPhone. Meanwhile, for some VoIP providers such as Rebtel and Jajah, it's just another call wihtout much worry about the actual platform.

The only service that I am really familiar with is jajah and we love it. We get 60 free minutes per day if the called person also has jajah; if not, we pay $0.028 per miniute; that is less than three cents per minute.

We call South Korea totally free on a mulit-day weekly basis. It seems to offer the best of all worlds for us, including the fact that we have to have no extra equipment; we just use our regular telephone.

I would certainly be interested in trying another product, if someone can direct me to a seemingly improved product; the direction would be sincerly appreciated.

why is everyone talking about Jah jah, when
http://www.webcalldirect.com exists. It is suuuuuuper cheap (same conept as jah jah). You pay 5 cents per call (not minute) almost anywhere in the world. For example: I call my friend in London, we talk for 5 hours - I pay 5 cents!

Thank me later...

Been using a similar service for over a year now called Mino (www.minowireless.com), think they have been out longer than JAJAH, and seems that Mino’s rates are cheaper. For those who don't seem to get it...the service is web based so all you need is a browser and access to the web, nothing to install. You can even download a java version to your phone so you don’t even have to open up your browser….works flawlessly on my BBpearl (my stand in for the iphone).

Thanks for the corrections. So this works because the iPhone has a brower and thus it has nothing to do with iPhone/Jajah integration and would work with other similar services.

That Cingular plan and press release are a few years old - it dates back to when Cingular was introducing their GSM system - there is currently no "Metro Plan" with free incoming minutes, only the rollover plan where unused minutes rollover to the following month.

As Jajah is not always free to use the telco would get its share/money from Jajah instead from the user directly when a call is made.

Not much new here. Opera last year announced a deal between Opera software and Jajah to allow usage of Jajah through Opera Mini. So no need to wait for the iPhone to do this, you can already to it though Opera Mini on your ancient Nokia N-gage or any other phone that runs Java.
