FINALLY - Linux to yahoo voice call. (kinda)

[Mgiacchetti]

Well... I finally figured things out... kinda.

Here we go...

http://ekiga.org/ <<-- Get your SIP account here.

Then...

use www.gtalk2voip.com to be the middleman

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:[/quote]

To access Yahoo! Messenger users from other IMs, a CALL command should be initiated to service bot, like:
CALL yahoo:someuser@yahoo.com

Calls from SIP network to Yahoo! Messenger should be routed to:
someuser_at_yahoo.com@yahoo.gtalk2voip.com
or
someuser%yahoo.com@yahoo.gtalk2voip.com


Google Talk users can add Yahoo contacts to their roster like:
someuser%yahoo.com@yahoo.gtalk2voip.com

However, I am unable to call the SIP phone from yahoo messenger.

I was able to do it twice, however it kept on charging me for the call, then after the third time, no go no more...

I am expecting this to be free both ways, however, it is not.


Please anyone help!!
