Global communications company JAJAH has been selected by Yahoo! as the outsource partner for its premium voice service. The Phone In and Phone Out service will enable consumers to make high-quality, low-cost, PC-to-phone and phone-to-PC (landline or mobile)  voice calls over the JAJAH network to more than 200 countries using the Yahoo! Messenger, instant messaging application.
The partnership leverages JAJAHs open, next-generation communications platform to support the existing Yahoo! Messenger voice offering beginning in the third quarter of this year. Through this collaboration and managed service offerings, JAJAH will provide Yahoo! Messenger users with an instant Internet telephony network, merging the best of traditional and IP telephony.
The seamless integration of web and voice interaction is clearly important to our strategic partner, Yahoo!, says JAJAH CEO, Trevor Healy. We are honoured to be selected by Yahoo! to meet their voice needs. Through this relationship, we have the opportunity to extend our innovative global calling services with an industry leader that can leverage the power of our platform and network.
Since 2006, Yahoo! Messenger users have been able to use Phone In and Phone Out to make and receive voice calls on their PC to and from landline and mobile phones. With low rates and premium voice quality, users can talk for hours and save on their phone bill. This deal means JAJAH will take over the provision of the telephony infrastructure, payment processing, and customer care for Yahoo!s premium voice users who make and receive voice calls through Yahoo! Messenger.
