Yahoo Messenger: Syncing With The World Of Phones

Yahoo has released the next round of its efforts to get up to speed on the growing integration of desktop instant messaging with real world telphony through VoIP, as reported in PC Magazine. The Yahoo Messenger Phone In and Phone Out capabilities line up with Skype’s equivalent offerings, except that Yahoo is offering extremely attractive price points: two cents a minute for calls out to the US and 30 other countries, and low-rate, Phone In service for $2.90 per month.

Of course, as usual, these features are not available for the Mac (hisss). So while we can sync up with the world using Yahoo Messenger, its only for those paying homage to Microsoft.
