Jaxtr - Making cellphone/land lines call via voip

Jaxtr enables you to make local or long distance or international calls using your regular phone. You don't need a computer to make these calls. I have used jaxtr for quite awhile now(roughly 2 months since my first review). I must say that the service is good. At first I have doubts about the quality of the voice, since most of voip services depends on the Internet traffic. If there were congestion during traffic hopping, there would be lag, jitters,etc in the voice quality. However that's not the case with jaxtr.

I am assuming that they have some sort of customized SLA with whomever provided the network to ensure priority over their voice datas(I know I've worked in this field before :)) and it's not easy to get that.

I've managed to call people in Asia and get good feedback. It's like calling through a cellphone, no drops nor lag. It's like you are calling the neighbor next to you.

If there's any feature that I like is Jaxtr embedded widget on websites. Just like the one you see on my site, you can make a local call with the number that jaxtr provide you and then jaxtr will connect to local hub in your friend's area, so the call is local for both of you.

Here's something important you need to know. The connected calls are charge by the minute. When you first signed up with jaxtr you will get 100 free minutes. Afterwards you can get more minutes by signing up friends. So if you want to call your friend, a jaxtr user, you need to click his/her link. Jaxtr will then give you a local number to call your friend. It will then connect both of you voip style. You need to remember that whenever you make a call from your phone you will be charge by your phone provider(this has nothing to do with jaxtr).

In conclusion, I think I'm going to use this more often for my long distance calls, since it's a lot cheaper. I just have to worry about Jaxtr minutes and making sure I sign up more people for the free minutes. So try it yourself, sign up through my blog and help me get my minutes :D
