Break away from your PC and make free or low-cost calls to your friends using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice! The Linksys iPhone Dual-Mode Cordless Phone for Yahoo! Messenger comes with the handset, charger, and a USB Base Station that plugs into your PC. Dual-Mode capability lets you choose whether to make free or low-cost calls with the Yahoo! Messenger with Voice service on your PC, or over a regular telephone line. Just select who you want to talk to from your Yahoo! Messenger contact list on your handset and when your contact answers, talk away!

VOIP technology is really starting to spread these days. There are more and more services coming available every day and thanks to that growth in technology we’re seeing newer phone models come out to reflect those. This particular phone model is designed to compliment the Yahoo Messenger service “call a friend” option. Using this phone is as easy as using your Yahoo Messenger on your computer with your microphone, only you now have the freedom to walk away like you might on an ordinary phone call. Of course, it’s not only a Yahoo IM phone, you can dial a standard phone number using the phone as well.

In my opinion, no technology is as reliable as we need it to be, and communication is a key part of our day to day lives. Having a phone in your home that is going to get a call out when you really need it to go through is quite important. I like to keep at least two types of phone service active in our home. I keep a land line (I know, I know, who the heck uses a land line anymore!?!) and we also have a VOIP phone in the office, and recently we added two cell phones into the mix. I have one that I use as my work number, and my oldest son has one as well.
