Skype Downtime Boosts Rivals' Profits

Because Skype was affected by an impressive and very long downtime, numerous consumers started looking for an alternative. JAJAH is just one of the technologies that are able to compete with Skype but, because of the popularity recorded by its rival, it often remained somehow an anonymous service. However, the recent Skype downtime represented a chance to become popular as the JAJAH representatives said they recorded 50 percent increase in new user registrations. According to Pocket-Lint, JAJAH was the main solution chosen by the disappointed Skype users who were looking for an alternative.

"As soon as Skype went down, we started to see our numbers climb. Thousands of users searched for alternative ways to contact friends and family and JAJAH was ready to serve up endless free and low cost calls. Being long-time Skype fans, we are happy that they are up and running again. At the same time, we are glad we were able to provide back-up for consumers that needed a quick alternative during their outage," said Roman Scharf, JAJAH co-founder for the same source.

If you didn't know, the Skype outage affected all the users and none of them was able to connect to the servers. Because of that, some of the consumers hungry for communication started looking for an alternative but it's quite difficult to find one since Skype offers the best quality at minimum prices.

JAJAH can be easily the perfect Skype replacement since it allows you to communicate with your friends from every corner of the world at minimum fees. "It is really simple: JAJAH offers global phone calls at local rates. Without a new contract, a new number or a new phone you can call anywhere in just one click. Calls between members are FREE," it is mentioned on the main page of the service.
