Yahoo VOIP Messenger Finally Launched

What took Yahoo so long? Yahoo has launched its VOIP IM service on March 22. It will be available for download on Windows-running systems. The new Yahoo IM client has full inbound and outbound VOIP capabilities.

Yahoo has priced its VoIP offerings keeping Skype full in the crosshairs. Both its Phone Out and Phone In rates are lower than Skype but unlike Skype, Yahoo does not offer Video capabilities yet. Users, ala Skype, get free voicemail for inbound calls. Moreover, voicemail messages are linked from Yahoo Mail.
