AT&T and Yahoo jointly announced the integration of Yahoo’s Messenger with Voice application with the AT&T Yahoo high speed internet offering currently available in AT&T’s 13-state local service footprint.

Subscribers can select a “Phone In” phone number, and receive incoming calls on their PCs for just $2.99 per month or $29.90 per year. The “Phone Out” service, meanwhile lets users make long distance calls within the U.S. and several other states for $0.02/minute or less, with below-market international calling rates to over 180 countries.

This agreement causes AT&T to become Yahoo’s preferred network termination partner for PC-based calling services around the world, and expands on the November 2001 deal that saw the two companies offering co-branded internet service.

The companies will ultimately further expand the partnership into IPTV services, with AT&T’s Project Lightspeed and U-verse line of services.
