Can I use a regular international phone card with yahoo voice?
No, it doesn't work that way.........but the yahoo rates are much cheaper then any calling card !! You have to call right from the softpad!





I also use voice.yahoo.com because they are cheaper then skype...
Reply:Yes, you can do that. But, it isn't necessary.





Yahoo Voice will call the same destinations that most calling cards call to.


So, if you used Yahoo Voice to call your calling card gateway, you would now be paying two fees instead of one.... the Yahoo Voice rate + the calling card rate.


You would only do that if the calling card service could call to destinations that Yahoo Voice did not connect to. Then you would call the CC gateway with Yahoo.


Otherwise, Yahoo Voice by itself should be just fine.

Ok, well in that case, then try using Yahoo Voice to call the calling card gateway.


If it doesn't work, it is probably an issue with Yahoo Voice being able to send DTMF tones through the calling card gateway for dialing. In which case, you will need to try using a different VoIP service that handles DTMF tones more reliably. Like Skype, Gizmo5, Efonica, CallCentric, InPhonex.
