All GTalk2VoIP
voice services previously availabe only for Google Talk users are now possible with Yahoo! Messenger. This means, Yahoo! Messenger users can:
- Make calls to PSTN via GTalk2VoIP voip carriers.
- Make calls to other IMs (Google Talk and MSN/Live Messenger).
- Make calls to SIP phones and SIP services.
- Receive calls from SIP.
- Use voicemail and voice conferencing with other IM clients.
Technical details:
These services can be used through a service bot: gtalk2voip@yahoo.com which you have to invite to your Yahoo! Messenger (it will be then displayed as gtalk2voipXXX@yahoo.com). Usage instructions are the same as for Google Talk or MSN/Live Messenger: you send it CALL command to initiate a call, like:
CALL someuser@gmail.com to call Google Talk user someuser@gmail.com, or
CALL someuser@hotmail.com to call MSN/Live Messenger user someuser@hotmail.com, or
CALL someuser@somesipservice.com to call SIP service.
The service bot automatically recognizes your callee type, but you can also manually define it by using following prefixes:
gtalk:user@domain.com - to initiate a call to Google Talk, or
msn:user@domain.com - to initiatite a call to MSN/Live Messenger, or
yahoo:user@domain.com - to initiate a call to Yahoo! Messenger, or
sip:user@domain.com - to initiate a call to SIP phone.
