Voxbone and Jajah have teamed up on a dramatically simple, and very good service for O2 customers in the UK. In a nutshell, for £10 per month O2 International Favourites gives you an unlimited overseas “Call Me” number that friends and family can use to reach you at local calling rates. Calls made to that number are simply forwarded to the subscriber’s O2 handset. In addition, you also get three local dial numbers that will call forward to international landline or mobile numbers, with 3,000 minutes of service.
That ought to be more than enough for calls between friends and family back home.
More details here.

JAJAH’s announcement yesterday that they are bringing VoIP calling to the iPod Touch had an interesting twist to it. The application will be offered to third parties who can brand it, and offer it as an additional service to their customers. Imagine, for example, and AT&T branded softphone client for iPod Touch. It’s a novel idea which allows a carrier to extend it’s brand onto non-phone devices.
Given that the App Store is Apple’s official channel, one wonders if there will suddenly be a proliferation of JAJAH softphones in the store, all branded differently. Or are the folks in MountainView working another distribution strategy with the Cupertinians?
