Skype has missed a good opportunity to extend their roots in Europe. British Telecom just inked a deal with Yahoo to bundle the now VoIP enable messenger into the BT Communicator, as TechDigest reported it. BT Communicator simply refers to a “clever piece of software” that only users with a BT username or BT Yahoo! email account could launch.
As usual, PC-to-PC phone calls are free while PC-to-phone are charged. BT asks for £0.0125 every international phone call. Every other features are Yahoo!’s ones: instant messaging, contact address books, video conferencing and avatars. BT warns those who used to access to the Internet with the v205 modem router that a firmware upgrade is required.
British Telecom Communicator completes the broadband phone service, dubbed BT “Broadband Voice”, already available for quite a long time and that allows free local and national calls for £6.50 a month. Some 100,000 new users have already subscribed last year.
