VoIP Service Provider Jajah launched white label mobile services to allow companies to sell VoIP services for Blackberry, Symbian or Windows Mobile handsets under their own brand.
Jajah provides a turnkey solution to existing and aspiring service providers. The company packaged its VoIP application with management functions, including call quality control, as well as billing and payments processing capabilities in 200 countries.
Calls using Jajah’s VoIP services can now be made through Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and Symbian S60 handsets using a Wi-Fi or 3G data connection. Two weeks ago, Jajah announced its VoIP services could use an iPod Touch with access to a Wi-Fi service.
The company says it is now able to target more than 500 million mobile devices.
In Japan, the cellular service provider eMobile deployed Jajah for Windows Mobile in July 2008, for use on an IP-only device.
Jajah plans to announce new data communication services, applications and partnerships in the coming months.
Jajah started in 2006 by offering web-activated VoIP services to consumers and small businesses, before extending its activities to service providers. In April 2008, Yahoo outsourced its Phone In and Phone Out services to Jajah.
Web activated VoIP services work as follows: calls are initiated from Jajah’s website and use regular telephones on both ends. The caller’s phone rings first, and the recipient’s phone starts to ring after the caller picked-up the phone. Jajah’s web-activated service now has more than 10 million customers.
