  • Jaxtr™, the world’s leading social communications company, is helping people connect with friends and family abroad for the same cost, and with the same convenience, as placing a local call. The innovative product allows callers to bypass expensive international phone charges – on any mobile or landline phone – without the hassle of extra numbers, access codes or an Internet connection.

    Using jaxtr is fast, easy and convenient, and it’s as worry-free as using your local minutes to call a friend domestically. Plus, jaxtr works without a download or even a computer, so people are free to spontaneously place calls wherever, whenever.

    Consider the difference. With jaxtr, if you’re sitting in your car at a red light, you won’t have to fumble with numbers or worry about international rates. You simply select your friend’s number on your mobile phone and push talk. That’s it. Immediately you’ll be talking with your cousin in South Korea just as if he or she was across town.

    Since 2007, jaxtr has offered a wide-array of features to get in touch and stay in touch with people who share interests and activities or to explore the interests and activities of others, including the ability to:

    • connect with friends worldwide through café jaxtr and widgets for blogs and social networking profiles;

    • make free calls to other jaxtr members from any mobile or landline phone without downloads or computers, and send free international SMS;

    • manage calls with call forwarding to any phone and keep your number private.
