Jajah is a VOIP service that gives you lower long distance rates by bridging standard phone lines with a cheaper VOIP alternative. You can place Jajah calls by clicking on your contacts through their website (desktop and mobile), various browswer plugins, or Google Gadget. You can try out a one time call by going to Jajah and typing in your email address and your contacts info. When you initiate a call by clicking on a contact, Jajah calls back your phone and your contact’s phones. The call is then routed through your phone network (land or mobile), to Jajah’s servers, and then back out through your contact’s phone.
With the Jajah Mobile Plugin you can place low cost domestic and international phone calls directly from your mobile phone.
With the EM·ONE device, users in can make and receive voice-over-mobile-broadband calls via its JAJAH Mobile software client without a traditional mobile phone connection.
As of July 2008 this service is only available in Japan.

The jajah mobile plugin is seamlessly compatible with Symbian, MS Smartphone Windows CE and PocketPC phones, but can theoretically work well with any phone that supports java. It works the same way the desktop client works, by bridging normal phone lines with VOIP. When users make a mobile call with the plugin their call is routed to one of jajah’s local hubs and then moved over to VOIP which connects to the recipient’s local hub and then finally to the recipient.
Competitors include: Skype, ConnectMeAnywhere GizmoProject, and barablu among others.
