Problems with Yahoo! Voice - Stick With Your Landline

Recently Yahoo! has been pushing their new Yahoo! Voice calling plan (a program compatible with Yahoo! Messenger) in which you can make PC to Phone (landline and mobile) and PC to PC calls. They have posted long distance rates online, which would almost make anyone give up their landline - if just basing your decision on price.

But all over the internet, users are posting issues and problems ranging from horrible connections on calling 800 numbers to software downloading problems and more. It seems that the consensus is that the service is unreliable. And paying by the minute can definitely add up!

What if you were trying to call 911 and you got stuck with a bad connection? Could this mean the difference between life and death for someone? Maybe!

I'd say until that kind of internet phone calling system is improved or perfected, you should just stick with your landline for now. If long distance rates are a problem from your service carrier, you can sign up with PhoneHog and earn free long distance minutes. It's easy and free - and you don't have to switch phone service providers, so there is no hassle.
