News on our voice services
April 29, 2008 on 9:51 am | In Voice |
As you may have seen in the news today, Yahoo! Messenger is partnering with Jajah to power the management of our premium voice (Phone Out and Phone In) services.
Currently, we manage our own end to end services that enable users to call from Yahoo! Messenger to regular or mobile phones around the world for as low as 1¢ a minute. Upon integration, Jajah will power these services and we will leverage their VoIP network for delivering Phone Out and In services.
Rest assured that our voice services will remain the same and as a user, you will not notice any change. We are committed to achieving the highest possible call quality and ease of use. This change does not affect our free PC to PC calls; these will continue to be handled by Yahoo! Messenger (and still be free!).
We’ll keep you posted here on the blog about any additional voice news. For more information on Yahoo! Messenger’s premium voice services, please visit http://voice.yahoo.com.

Great news! Hope the quality of the voice will be improved!

Ryan you have a good point, I never saw it that way. But I have to disagree with Microsoft buying Yahoo. That’d just make MS stronger and richer. $44.6 Billion is a great investment because in a few years they will double or triple their profits from Yahoo. Plus Windows Live Messenger is crappier than Yahoo Messenger. The emoticons are bad.
But right now I completely hate the 9.0 version. I prefer the 8.0 on my XP and Vista but hopefully I’ll stick to the Vista version of Yahoo Messenger once it’s out of Beta for my Vista machine.
Personal note, keep up the great job on Yahoo Messenger for Vista. As for Yahoo Messenger 9.0, make it more user friendly. It needs the 8.0 feel with the 9.0 look.

The yahoo messenger is cool, I have a MAC with Leopard and the voice does not work I can heard the people talking but they can not heard my voice when I make a call to a cell phone or a land line. Could you all please help me? please email me. I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING, but not luck with the voice….

I have used yahoo voice and it started off good, then suddenly it got sick and now I can hear the other party clearly but the other party cant hear me clearly. But what i want to know is if its yahoo or ISP doing that, but I think its the yahoo quality, its poor.
