As I prepare for the work week like so many others I thought I should update everyone on the free telephone calls I received over the weekend, thanks to Jaxtr. I received a call from Bulgaria, a call from Colombia, and a call from Greece. I asked my wife to write about her time in Crete, or as she says it "Arizona with beaches." All of my phone calls were free so we did not worry about watching the minutes. Basically the callers wanted to test call clarity. Some people have asked me about the clarity of free Jaxtr calls. As many of you know by now I send the Jaxtr calls to my RingCentral virtual PBX, and the calls go on to the regular phone system. At that point the calls go to my [+]

While travelling with my mom, dad, sister and brother I remember the Hotel Europa in Vienna Austria. I really haven't given it much thought in recent years, but a call from Austria brought back memories of long ago. Mom, dad, and my sister are gone now, so after completing my call from Austria I called my brother. The call from Austria was free, thanks to Jaxtr. My brother told me he was too young to remember our time in Austria so I suppose the memories are mine now. I do know that we went on to the Netherlands after leaving Vienna. My sister and I managed to get ourselves into trouble there too, even though we were only six and eight years old at the time. I soon learned that you are not supposed to [+]

Marco Antonio Barrera and the Pac Man Manny Pacquiao will have a rematch in October from what I have learned. Soon after I posted an article about my free Jaxtr phone call from the Philippines I started getting text messages. I am told the Barrera Pacquiao fight is scheduled for October 6, 2007 at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. With free phone calls to and from the Philippines and Mexico it seems I should start a blog about boxing. I certainly have enough input to start a poll about who is going to win. I encourage you to post your comments using our comment form. That way everyone can see your opinion. Personally I am so far behind I haven’t had time to see my TIVO of the last HBO boxing pay-per-view. [+]

I have my Jaxtr set up to receive free calls on the weekends so I can talk to callers from around the world. This morning I received a test call from the Philippines. Sometimes you just don't know what to say other than 'hello, your call sounds clear.' But I happen to be a boxing fan and remember sitting next to my dad as we watched Friday Night Fights on ABC back as early as 1962. I was 13 years old back then. So when I got a free phone call from the Philippines this morning I knew exactly what I wanted to ask about. Filipino ring superstar Manny Pacquiao is a great boxer and a hero in his home country. I learned that he also is involved with politics, and his brother Bobby is [+]

Travelling when you are a Jaxtr user has many benefits over traveling with a VoIP phone. When Jaxtr is linked to your cell phone or mobile phone you know your calls will get through. One great feature of VoIP phones, on the other hand, is they follow you. The drawback is that you must have Internet access, either through wireless or a fixed connection. With Jaxtr you don’t have that requirement. There are inherent drawbacks to some VoIP phones because people cannot call them from traditional telephone systems. At this time there is no way to call my Google Talk telephone from your home phone or mobile phone. Other VoIP phones give you a telephone number or you pay extra for a telephone number so people can call you. The first example that comes to mind [+]
