What could be the better example to highlight the popularity of VoIP in general and Jajah services in particular? Launched in March last year, Jajah’s web-based telephony service has registered nearly two million customers this month.

It’s an awesome achievement. Vonage, the company which played a pioneering role in popularizing the concept of VoIP for the first time has 2.2 million customers still date.

Upbeat Roman Scharf, the co-founder of Jajah announces,

One year after launch, our vision remains the same - to bring improved telephony solutions at a fraction of the traditional price. We’re glad to celebrate this milestone and thank the two million users who recognize that they can keep their number, their current phone and choose JAJAH to lower calling costs.

On contrary to Skype or Vonage, Austria-based Jajah provides its VoIP services that do not require Internet connection. In other words, the customers do not require a Net-connected phone or headset to make international calls while using Jajah services.

First, the customers should enter the originating and terminating phone numbers into a text box shown at the vendor’s Web site and click a button. Then, they should hang on for their landlines or mobile phones to ring. When you hold your phone, Jajah’s software has already dialed the other number you want to connect.

Therefore, it is clear the VoIP calls actually transmit on a fiber network connected to Jajah’s servers. It is not over the Internet.
