Yahoo! Messenger For Mac Features Voice Chat

Yahoo! Messenger has allowed PC users to use voice chat for quite some time now. Although the application is also usable by Mac users, the voice feature has remained unavailable. That’s going to change this week with the news that Yahoo! will finally add voice support for its Mac client.

This week, the Yahoo! Messenger team brings you at least one of those things: voice chat. With the new version of the Mac beta, you can do PC-to-PC calls like you would on iChat or Skype for free, or sign up for a Phone Out account to call normal phones. And since Mac users can (finally) make voice calls, we can also take advantage of Yahoo!’s free voicemail and call forwarding.

Definitely good news for all Mac fans. As the source points out, you’ll be able to enjoy free voice calls using the beta client or make regular calls using these rates. It also features free voicemail and call forwarding, so if you fancy yourself as a VIP with a Mac, you can check out the software here.
