Yahoo! Voice launched
Yahoo! Messenger with Voice 7.0 will allow the user to attach a US phone number to it for $2.99. Outgoing calls to regular US phone numbers will cost 2c, PC-to-PC calls will be free, while incoming calls to the phone number associated with Yahoo! Messenger will be free as well, USA Today says. It doesn’t look like Mac and Linux versions are supporting the telephone service right now. Om Malik says Yahoo! is starting a price war with Skype by undercutting their prices. According to the press release from Yahoo!, free voicemail is bundled into new messenger as well.
