Yahoo adding VoIP to its instant messaging service
Yahoo Inc. has begun allowing users to make telephone calls and search the Internet via its instant messaging system instead of relying only on Web browsers or e-mail.
Yahoo is responding to competition from Internet phone calling service Skype, which has caught fire among young users across Europe and now boasts some 48 million registered users of its free call software around the world.
The new Yahoo service, renamed "Yahoo Messenger with Voice," boasts high-quality voice calling capabilities allowing consumers to make phone calls between personal computers to friends and family anywhere in the world.
In addition to the United Sates Yahoo! Messenger with Voice is available in 18 localised versions for Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Spain, South Asia, Taiwan, United Kingdom and across Latin America, with Yahoo! en Espanol.
