Who do you want to call ? Jangl does things different
Jangl is a company with a revolutionary idea. Instead of you having to register and receive a number, you enter an emailadress and Jangle assigns a number to it so you can call the person behind the emailadress. You could say they turn things around and you're right. They are. And I call it revolutionary.
I found Jangl's concept Trickylinks to grasp at first. It doesn't assign you a single phone number that anyone can dial. Instead, each Jangl user receives a different Jangl number to reach you. As this works in 31 countries throughout North America and Europe as well as in Israel, Mexico, Hong Kong and Brazil, you're spared from high long-distance fees. When you call someone's Jangl number, the recipient finds out once you leave them a voice-mail, which directs them to sign up with and respond to you via Jangl.(WW)

And of course, you can get widgets, buttons and such to include in your blogs, signatures, websites and so on. I am impressed by the idea alone. Unfortunately I could not try it out as all links on the site were cold and gave me "Unable to connect", but I'll check it later, that's for sure !
