JAJAH to Develop Native VoIP Application for the Apple iPhone

Posted on: Wednesday, 2 April 2008, 06:00 CDT

JAJAH, the world's most innovative communications company, today announced that it is building on its current Apple iPhone call-back offering by participating in the iPhone Developer Program to create possibly the first native global VoIP application. The new global VoIP application is expected to be available this summer, close to the iPhone 2.0 software release.

Since the iPhone launch in June 2007, JAJAH provided its web-activated telephony solution on a custom-tailored Website for this groundbreaking device. Already widely adopted by callers seeking international calling abilities without the need for global plan, JAJAH is accessible via the integrated Safari web browser at http://iphone.jajah.com.

The new JAJAH Mobile VoIP client for the iPhone will enable two ways to make free or low-cost global calls to any phone in the world: 1) JAJAH's known callback service ideal for low bandwidth locations and 2) the sole use of a Wi-Fi network. This blended VoIP application assures premium call quality and affordable international calling rates at any location. With Wi-Fi support, all international and long-distance callers will be able to place calls via airport hotspots, coffee shops or any other desired Wi-Fi location.

"JAJAH was one of the first in line to support the launch of the iPhone. Now with the release of the iPhone SDK, we are excited to develop a native VoIP application that will improve productivity and enhance the communication capabilities of mobile professionals with added security," said Frederik Hermann, Director, Global Marketing. "JAJAH adds global mobile VoIP functionality and with enterprise level support, soon companies will give employees a choice of an iPhone vs. the BlackBerry."

JAJAH has already proven its Mobile VoIP client capabilities enhancing the world's first mobile broadband operator EMobile with a pre-installed native VoIP client on all of EMobile's EM One handheld devices.

All third-party Apple iPhone applications will be made available exclusively through the Apple App Store which can be accessed over-the-air on the iPhone itself, or loaded via iTunes on a computer. Until the date of the new VoIP application release, users can already enjoy JAJAH's existing callback service through http://iphone.jajah.com
