Yahoo phone service?

Question

can I use Yahoo phone service if I have wireless broadband?

Answer 1

yes, I got wifi-max/fixed from clearwire.com and I use voice.yahoo.com

Answer 2

Yahoo Voice will work with any kind of highspeed Internet service, as long as it is faster than 56Kbs.   Yahoo recommends highspeed Internet connection for best results, but notes that it is possible to use as low as 56Kbs.

The only type of highspeed wireless service that could cause problems is satellite service.  Because satellites are so far away, "signal delay" becomes an issue.  But it is still possible, if you don't mind talking simplex (taking turns talking like on 2-way radio).

For the most part, VoIP is VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol).  The principles are the same regardless of whose service you use.  If a service "requires" high bandwidth, it is usually because their service is tied to a high bandwidth codec.  But, many (if not most) VoIP services are dynamic and allow multiple codes to be used, in which case it is often viable to use VoIP over dial-up service with 56K modem - but usually requires softphone to use - which Yahoo Voice does use.
