Internet and VOIP phones

VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) service provider Jajah Inc. is offering its subscribers toll-free call buttons that they can place on their web sites, enabling site visitors to immediately set up phone calls to Jajah subscribers in 122 countries.

In contrast to other “call me now” services, calls via Jajah can be completely free for both parties if the website owner and visitor are Jajah subscribers and live in the right countries, according to Jajah’s website.

The buttons could be used by companies wanting to provide a free contact point for customers service. Other likely uses of the buttons are on social networking sites, blogs, and emails, said Trevor Healy, CEO of Jajah.

8×8 has signed an agreement with a service provider that will be exiting the VOIP market, calling for the recommendation of Packet8 as the replacement VOIP service for its subscribers, reports CNN Money.

According to the agreement, Packet8 will be the only brand presented and promoted to the 12 000 subscribers who will be left without VOIP phone services.

8×8 will offer subscribers a specially-priced Packet8 monthly service plan, along with a free month of service, free activation, free shipping and a free Uniden 165P 5.8GHz cordless phone to transition to its award-winning VOIP phone service.
