Yahoo Readies New VoIP Service

Rob writes "Yahoo is readying to capture a larger piece of the VoIP market and will announce a new VoIP product during the next two weeks. The new service would be comparable to Skype Technologies SA's, said Safa Rashtchy, senior research analyst at Wall Street researcher Piper Jaffray Co, which makes a market in Yahoo stock. The impending move by Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo into the VoIP arena would potentially be disruptive."

Re:Free Plans

[killercoder]

There are several services that allow free inbound calls from pstn - but require you to pay for outbound.


sipgate.co.uk - free inbound UK and German numbers
stanaphone.com - free inbound NYC and Area
messagenet.it - free inbound italy number

I have one asterisk PBX here in Toronto with inbound phone numbers in all of the above - I don't pay for a single one of the inbound numbers (I pay for local service thru Vonage).

This site has a lot of useful information on SIP providers and Asterisk http://www.voip-info.org
