Phone Calls Now Possible on Twitter
Twitter users are being given the tools to take their addiction to the
next level, they will be able to make voice calls to each other using the
popular microblogging service. This was made known by Jajah, an IP
Telephony company which announced that it has released the beta
version of Jajah@call, “the twitter calling solution”.
The process is quite simple, registered users only need to type in
@call then @username to place a call to a fellow tweeter. For
instance, you would tweet @call @solokay if you wanted to give me
a shout on twitter. If the user is following you, you can chat with
them for two minutes free of charge. There is a catch however, both
users must be Jajah users to get in on the fun.
Jajah also claimed that it would be possible for users to place calls
via mobile phones, computers, or even old school landlines without use
of downloads or headsets. It’s also twitter-client friendly and it
will work on any device on which twitter can be accessed, from your
smart-phones to PC.
To make a twitter call, go to www.jajah.com and signup, under “My
Services” in “My Account” page you will see “Twitter Calls.” If this
doesn’t appear, and you would like an invitation, send an email to
twitter@jajah.com
Let other people know they can @call you: send a tweet “call me free
reply with @call”. Or add “JAJAH@Call” to your account info so people
will know you are part of the beta. To protect privacy, calls can only
be made to people who follow you. Jajah says you’ll even be able to
make calls when using Twitter clients like Tweetie and TwitterBerry on
your smartphone.
Unfortunately, the service is only open to U.S. numbers while it’s in
beta, so international users will have to wait to reach out and touch
someone via tweeting.
