Free International Calling! Holy Crap!
Well, almost free ;) The line has to be within zone one and two.
- You and your friends have to use mobile or landline phone in Zone 1 (USA, Canada, China, Singapore, Hong Kong) or a landline phone in Zone 2 (mainly Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Taiwan)
- Your friend's phone number must be registered with JAJAH
- Your friend's account must be "active" (an account will become inactive after two weeks of no operation, ie. a free call, a cheap call or sending a text message)
- You have not exceeded the FAIR USE policy: 1000 minutes a month, five hours a week, 1 hour a day
Sounds good eh? If said friend can't get to a computer, just whip up an email account and register for them. Beats the hell out of blue/beigeboxing like in the old days!
You type in your number when you register, you type in the number of the place you're calling (don't worry about not knowing the country code at first, you can just select the name of it.) and both phones ring. It works, I called bri's mobile and the landline and it rang. Pretty damn sweet way of avoiding real international calling fees.
If you're interested, go to http://www.jajah.com I've heard there's tons of these up now, BUT it was a top firefox plugin, so I hopped on it.
