VoIP operator Jajah has received funding from Intel Capital as part of a US$20 million funding round. The amount invested by Intel was not disclosed, however as part of the deal Jajah will get access to Intel’s product dealers, OEM customers and developers. 

“Intel Capital is an investor we were looking for,” said Trevor Healy, Jajah CEO. “Our shared vision combined with their extensive relationships with product dealers, software developers, as well as their resources and technology, makes this a significant development for both companies and our industry. We couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to the obvious opportunities this represents.”

For the uninitiated, Jajah is an Internet telephony service however unlike traditional VoIP services you do not require software based telephones to make calls. To initiate a call you visit the Jahjah website and enter the traditional telephone numbers of both parties. Jahjah then calls and connects the two standard telephone handsets.

You can sign up for the trial version and enter your number and the destination number (trial available for landlines only). After entering the information, Jajah will initiate the call and connect your handset to your choice of number. The first 5 minutes is free. For more information head over to the website.
