New Delhi: This is the best thing that could have happened to Windows Mobile users as also the diehard Blackberry addicts. The marriage of the two bitter rivals is on the cards. No, Ontario-based BlackBerry owner Research in Motion (RIM) is not going all the way with world’s largest software maker, but just hitching a ride.
Web-based phone service Jajah, which enables you to make landline calls at VoIP rates, just added a mobile version that works with smartphones.
As with the desktop version, you simply use your browser (in this case your mobile browser) to enter the number of the person you wish to call. A moment later, your smartphone rings, then Jajah connects you to the other number. Calls to other Jajah users are free; calls to non-users are billed at various VoIP-level rates depending on the country. You get about three minutes of free calling time when you register.
I had an easy enough time connecting to Jajah Mobile Web via my Verizon Motorola Q, but wasn’t able to successfully complete a call. I got the ringback and the recorded Jajah message, but after that it was just dead air followed by a disconnect. Three tries, same result. What’s more, the mobile version can’t tap into your phone’s address book; rather, it pulls numbers from your online address book, which must be filled in manually.
