After a rather long wait, VoIP service provider Jajah has announced their Buttons service that allows users to receive “web-activated” phone calls without exposing their telephone numbers.
A Jajah button containing the user’s unique Jajah screen name is embedded in a web page or in an email signature. Clicking on such a button initiates a Jajah call to the user in question. As the caller does not need a Jajah account, these calls are always paid for by the recipient (except in those cases when the conditions for free Jajah calling are met). However, there are filters - a schedule, a country whitelist, a caller blacklist, and a fee limiter - that can be used to prevent unwelcome calls.
Buttons are available in Flash as well as in basic HTML. The target URI can also be used as a text link.
(The Jajah term “web-activated” means that instead of parties needing to use a headset, the Jajah service dials up the normal - mobile or landline - phones of both the call originator and the recipient.)
What do you think of Jajah Buttons? Have you tried using this feature? Please post your comment!
