Not sure where to post this but here goes:I have been using Yahoo Voice for over a year to make phone calls from my compouter to my parents phones.
I used to just dial 0011 and their area codes, then their numbers. Now I get an error message.
This is a computer bought in the USA. It was just fixed here. I wrote to Yahoo, and they told me to either set my computer to the USA or dial the country codes. For the life of me I have tried a zillion combinations and can not connect. I keep getting "Invalid number" I am lp.trying to call 3 different area codes, but the most inmportant one is 860. I used to dial 0011 860 and then the number.
I keep on emailing Yahoo and I get the same response, fix your computors country setting or dial the proper country code.
I hope some one can hep.
Thanks in advance. |

get the monthly credits so you can call unlimited (land lines) and to cell phones in the US. |

Thank you, but what are monthly credits? I know that may be stupid to ask, but I have always used phone cards. Then I discovered the "Yahoo". Other people have told me about SKYPE, but for some reason it is coming up only in Korean on my computer here. And it looks like I have to pay in Euros.
I really have tried to find out about the SKYPE. I did download it and I can now call my friend in Seoul. That is great. I just need to call my parents in the USA.My mom does not have a comp. and my dad will do nothing with his computer except email.
Thanks again. |

You can change the language to English.
The monthly plans are you can call unlimited to a certain country, or all countries for more. The problem is most of those countries, except for a few like the US, you can't call mobile numbers.
If you just buy calling credits, it's like buying a phone card and not a cheap option. About $35 for 25 mins or something since the Euro is worth more than the dollar. |
