Yahoo VOIP - the price war is on |
|
|
Things seem to be getting very interesting in the battle of the
internet titans. Yahoo has just released some details of their
upcoming VOIP offering. See:
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/13349163.htm
$30/year DID (phone number for incoming incoming calls)
1 cent/minute for domestic calls
1.9 cents/minute for calling 30 countries
I wonder how the established players will react. This is definitely
going to cause some pain for the small mom and pop companies.

Still not as cheap as.
www.voipbuster.com , www.sipdiscount.com and www.voipcheap.co.uk where for a
small initial fee you get free calls to landlines of several countries. |

You get free calls to various countries for now -- now idea how long |
that will go on for, though. For example, Voipbuster recently dropped
UK as free country. And sister (nonVoip) company call18866 hiked their
connection charges from 1p to 4p - but still no charge per minute. |

Yes, there is no guarantee to how long these free calls will last, I managed
to get around 7 months free calls to UK lines out of VoIP Buster, and now use
SIP Discount (via my ATA) for the last few months.
I used to have a BT line and use 18866, 1899 and more recently 18185, I was
with them, when they had a per minute charge, and then they dropped that to
zero pence per minute, however I dropped my BT landline and now use VoIP for
my calls (Broadband via Telewest).
Might as well make use of the free calls whilst they last, plus the above VoIP
services are not limited to the UK or EU. |

Great, when we dial out, instead of conventional ringing, we'll hear that
old "Ya-hoooooooooo" from the TV commercials!
