Jahjah is subsidizing some of the calls. The calls themselves are free if it's from a \
registered jahjah user to another registered jahjah user (eg: all over the internet \
instead of the PSTN)

I would agree that the business model is questionable but there are other options. \
Ad-based calls for example may work. There are other startups offering voip running \
ads on the softphone client. Even that to me would be questionable as a long-term \
sustainable profit center, but at least there are some options for them to take.

Decent post on it here:

Jajah Subsidizes this cost. 

I am not sure they have a sustainable model.

Subject: [VOIPSEC] A small question about jajah

Hi All:
    
       I have just used the jajah. And the calls are low-cost, almost free.
       For the most part, the call goes over the Internet, although the last-mile \
connection uses the PSTN or mobile service.  
       The call goes through the PSTN or mobile service, but it is free for \
registered users. How does the jajah pay the   cost of passing through the PSTN or \
mobile service? 

       That confuses me a lot.
