Jaxtr goes to handset

VOIP OUTFIT JAXTR is abandoning the Internet and allowing its users to make calls directly from their phones without needing the World Wide Wibble.

It means that users can dial a toll-free local access number from their mobile or landline phone and type in the number they want to call. Then, they can either pay for a low-cost direct call or wait for the service to make the connection after sending an SMS message to the other people and providing them with a local number to dial.

The mixed service is being seen as the way forward for computer-based Voice over IP outfits. µ
