Yahoo, IDT In Internet Phone Pact

HACKENSACK, N.J. (Reuters) - Yahoo! and IDT say Yahoo will offer customers a simple way to make phone calls from their personal computers while logged onto the Internet, using IDT's PC-to-phone service.

In a joint statement, Yahoo, the leading Internet site, and IDT, a scrappy supplier of low-cost international communication services, said users of Yahoo's people search and phone directory services can now link to IDT's Net2Phone service.

Once a phone number is located in the directory, the Yahoo user can click on the number and be connected to IDT's Net2Phone service.

The Yahoo customer can sign up, download the software and pre-pay for calling minutes using a credit card, a process that takes about 10 minutes, an IDT spokeswoman said.

Recipients on the other end of the call do not need to be online to receive Net2Phone calls. They can answer their telephone as they would a regular phone call.

Because the calls are placed through the Internet directly, phone rates are not based on the country of origin, but on a lower-cost pricing structure set by IDT for the number being called.

Yahoo Net2Phone users can expect to pay rates that run from $0.08 to $0.10 per minute for domestic calls in the United States, $0.13 a minute to Britain, $0.18 to Australia and $0.20 to France, IDT spokeswoman Sarah Hofstetter said.
