Brits to Save 86% on International Mobile Calls With JAJAH
added: 2006-09-27

From today, Jajah enables every British mobile phone user to make global calls for next to nothing, saving up to 86% on their phone bills. There are more than 60 million active mobile phones in the UK, and an estimated 3 million international calls placed each month from these handsets.

This is the first time a company has taken Internet telephony onto mobile phones, offering consumers such huge savings. For example, a 10 minute call from London to New York with the Jajah Mobile Suite will cost GBP1.10, compared to GBP12.90 with Vodafone, GBP1.50 with Orange, GBP7.00 with T-Mobile and GBP9.90 with O2.

Fernando Elizalde, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost and Sullivan comments: "Jajah's Mobile Suite brings the first, easy to use web-enabled telephony to the market, offering low cost international phone calls from any mobile phone in Europe. Jajah's solution has the potential to become a significant player in the long distance mobility market and could change the market significantly. Bringing internet calls to mobile phones so simply and cheaply gives consumers enormous choice and savings."

Up until recently the benefits of Internet calls were only open to computer buffs, but this all changed when Jajah launched free web-activated telephony, allowing people to make free landline calls, set up via a website but using their own phone.

Speaking at the launch of Jajah Mobile Suite, Jajah co-founder Roman Scharf said: "Millions of consumers are already familiar with the Jajah service, the simplest and cheapest way to make long-distance and global phone calls. Now you can make long-distance and global calls directly from your mobile phone without having to dial a special 'free call number', without having to use a calling card, without having to sign a long-term contract."

"People are beginning to understand that it makes sense to go with a service like Jajah, which liberates smart callers from the computer to make long-distance and global calls. Jajah's vision is to make smart phone services available to anyone, at any time, on any device. The Jajah Mobile Suite aims to do that, and there's nothing like it on the market."

The Jajah Mobile Suite is available by downloading a simple plug-in from www.jajah.com or by sending an SMS. With these options, the Jajah Mobile Suite operates on any mobile phone, regardless of geography, service or manufacturer.

Users of the Jajah Mobile Suite will benefit from ultra low call rates when calling in the UK and abroad - typically 91% cheaper than on a standard mobile contract with Vodafone, 67% with Orange, 87% with T-Mobile and 88% with O2 - and even lower rates again if both the caller and the person being called are Jajah members. The cost of each call is clearly displayed before the call is made. Rates are available at www.jajah.com/info/rates.

Registration is simple and free, and there are no binding contracts or hidden fees.

"Jajah aims not only to be the smartest and the cheapest phone service around the globe, but also the most transparent. In a world where so many companies say 'service is free', customers deserve to know exactly what they are getting. It's part of our brand to provide that kind of clarity to our customers, and it is one reason the Jajah global community is growing so quickly," Roman Scharf said.
