Info is scant. Appears to be PC to PC, similar to Skype.

Wouldn't get my hopes up. Remember "There is no free lunch".

Suggest you email Yahoo Support for answers.

Yes it is true !! And also - if you call the pizza company you get the pizza free too.

With the new MSN msgr 7.0, calls are free from pc to pc, so long as other end has MSN as well....

I use both Skype and MSN on ADSL connection and am very impressed w/MSN from Thailand to North America, crystal clear connections, no latency, most of the time better than Skype! Only problem is sometimes it's hard to get a audio connection established w/MSN.

skype is good for multi person audio chat (i.e. 3+) Eyeball chat is best for video chat - in fact I find that the video chat on Eyeball is superior sound to Skype, though have not done extensive testing at the same period.

skype is good for sending large files (eg. movies) as the transfer will resume if someone has to redial. Eyeball is faster sending files, but does not handle a dropped line.

MSN, Yahoo, mssger are all not free but cheaper than the standard phone or a mobile phone charges. why? co'z u are using "internet connection" to use such mssgr. the internet connection is not free you are still paying for it, unless u are using you company line or whatsoever.
