Yahoo! Messenger Gets Phone Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the another-way-for-telemarketers-to-annoy-you dept.

prostoalex writes to tell us that Yahoo! has launched a new phone service attached to their Messenger service. From the article: "The calls have to be initiated from a PC, but can be made to traditional landline phones and cellphones. Yahoo customers can receive calls from those phones, as well. Yahoo will charge 2 cents a minute for domestic calls, on top of the monthly $2.99 fee. Per-minute charges to 180 other countries will vary. It won't charge to receive calls."

    I hate to say this but this has been a "feature" of YIM for some time now... Yahoo does it's own dupes, who needs slashdot!
