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:
I wonder how the established players will react. This is definitely going to cause some pain for the small mom and pop companies.

Thus spaketh Wolfgang S. Rupprecht:
Still not as cheap as.
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.
Great, when we dial out, instead of conventional ringing, we'll hear that old "Ya-hoooooooooo" from the TV commercials!

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.
