Jajah offers cheap long distance via iPhone browser
VoIP carrier Jajah- which enables cheap long distance calls by bridging two local calls with a VoIP connection- is inviting iPhone users-subscribers to sign up via their service for international calls.
In fact, they have a new marketing pitch for these iPhone users. It’s called Free.Your.iPhone.
The proposition encourages iPhone owners (who are AT&T Mobility subscribers) to access the mobile Jajah site with their iPhone’s Web browser. Once there, users can enter a friend’s overseas number and click “CALL.”
Jajah points out that calls done this way via the iPhone to the U.K. costs 3 cents a minute vs. 23 minutes if the call was entirely conducted via AT&T.
I’m unsure how many iPhone users will try this, but if Free.Your.iPhone works it could be viral.
