Yahoo Joins the Crowd

With Yahoo VoIP, you can use the Yahoo Messenger service to call your family and friends anywhere in the world for free. They have a high quality PC-to-PC calling that is known as VoIP.

All customers need to use this service is a high-speed Internet connection like cable or DSL, a headset and either a microphone or speakers. The newest version allows users to leave voicemail messages for the first time and these messages can be easily found and retrieved through a detailed call history log that displays all voicemail messages and in-bound and out-bound calls. Customers can customize their ring tones for their friends and family, just like they do on their cell phones.

This new system of Yahoo VoIP will keep the company in front of the competitors who also offer cheaper and low cost calling with the Internet. This software is downloadable for free and can be found in eighteen localized versions including Argentina, Hong Kong, U.S., Brazil and Spain.
