Internet telephony provider JaJah will soon introduce a cell phone version of its features, company co-founder Roman Scharf recently said, as the firm prepares to battle some heavyweight competition.
For now, JaJah’s veritable Internet phone booth requires a personal computer. But when the mobile version debuts in May, it’ll be possible to trigger the JaJah service from a cell phone, Scharf said.
He hopes the new facet significantly expands the five-month-old company’s potential customer base. After all, according to the latest tallies, Internet-enabled cell phones outnumber personal computers by about 10 to 1.
JaJah is the latest, and hottest right now, of the companies to dabble in VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol), which is freely available software that turns an Internet connection into a low-cost local, long-distance and international phone.
