Yahoo! Messenger: VoIP for 1 cent
What VoIP software do we know? Skype, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger are
among the most popular ones. I have already reviewed the Skype application. Now Yahoo has released a new version of its messenger with Voice. Now you can use it not only for PC-to-PC calling, but for reaching traditional and mobile devices.
The PC-to-phone rates are very cheap starting from 1 cent per minute with the maximum rate being that to Diego Garcia (sounds like a name of a person) - $0.95. The minimum price is lower than Skype used to offer ($0.02) and the list of destinations is impressive. You can see the rates here.
So what do you need to get is a PC, a broadband connection, a headset and download Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Before starting using it, you have to buy a prepaid credit (either $10 or $25), which is easy to do online.
So after you have done all that, you are good to go.
Step 1. From the main window, click the gray touch pad icon to bring up your touch tone dial pad and enter the phone number.
Step 2. In the text box next to the dial pad icon, just type in the number.
Step 3. Remember to include the area code when dialing the number.
Step 4. When you are done with talking, you just press the button “End Call.”
You can get a phone-in number for your PC, so that people can call your PC just like it is a regular phone. For it you go to Phone In, select your country and area code and you got it.
Remember to give the number to your friends and relatives and happy call conference.
