According to reports, the VoIP - voice over internet protocol - communication service Jajah has received $2.75 million in its fourth funding round. Though there has been no official disclosure about the investors, Jajah - which has earlier raised $23 million - has been supported in the past by Globespan Capital Partners, Deutsche Telekom, Intel Capital, and Sequoia Capital.
Similar to its competitors - mig33 and Jaxtr - the Menlo Park, California-based Jajah provides VoIP services to countless users. In April 2008, as a result of an agreement between Jajah and search giant Yahoo, phone-to-PC calling capabilities were reached out to the nearly 90 million users of Yahoo messenger.
In the past three-year period since its inception, Jajah has shown noteworthy growth. While its last month-released software for Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Symbian facilitates making VoIP calls over WiFi or the cellular network; another of its systems allows calling and text messaging services to the iPod Touch - without a SIM card - via any carrier.
Jajah's this month partnership with Bravestorm - click-to-call BoldCall product developer - helps companies using BoldCall allow visitors to their sites for calling live customer service representatives in real time for free.
What has been particularly striking is that Jajah has been able to keep afloat despite widespread consolidations as well as closures that hammered its contemporaries like Yoomba and Jangl out of commission!
