The Flat Planet and a Phone !

I am always surprised anew, when I see how much effort people are willing to spend to make a few free calls. Jajah was running a promotion of free 60 minutes of calls up to a value of $2.10. The problem is you have to be in US, Italy, Germany, UK, Austria or Israel to be able to use the promotion.

Well what do you do if you do not live in one of those countries? How do you take advantage of this “unbelievable, once in a lifetime” promotion?? Between you and me, I wouldn’t care. After all, there are many VoIP services that you can use to call for 2 cents a minute, so why would I worry about spending a few cents? Is it really worth the effort to find a “free” alternative, when I can talk for an hour to many countries for less than $1.20??

Not everyone is of the same mind. Today I stumbled accross a post by Roopa, where he explains at length, how you can take advantage of the Jajah offer even if you do not live in one of these countries. While I applaud his resourcefulness, is it really worthwhile to spend so much time and effort just to save $2 ???

First, register a GrandCentral number and a Jajah account. Then add the GrandCentral virtual number as a registered phone into Jajah account. After that, choose the virtual number as Callser ID in GrandCentral setting, because Jajah Direct identifies users via Caller ID.

Second, add the Jajah Direct access number as into GrandCentral contacts list. But when I was using GrandCentral to call this access number, the voice promot said the Caller ID cannot be identified and required credit card information. However, now in you Jajah account information, you can find virtual numbers corresponding to each contact. Add this virtual number to contacts list of GrandCentral and call it, then it will be connected.
Run VoIPBusterPro binding with GrandCentral virtual number and dial the Jajah Direct virtual number, your call will be connected.

The reason to use GrandCentral is that the virutal number from GrandCentral can be used as Caller ID and it provides free callback VoIP calls within US
