Reviewing Lycos Phone
Ad-supported VoIP is not new. However, when Lycos introduced its VoIP service, it got tons of media mileage. Lycos Phone also combines IM, video chat, real-time video on demand streaming content (including IPTV channels), and an MP3 player to boot.
Tom Keating over at TMCnet says that Lycos Phone may be the first VoIP client that offers free PSTN calls to U.S. numbers. However, Dialpad did offer this during its early days.
What else? Well, all users of Lycos Phone get 100 free minutes of PC to landline and PC to mobile phone calls. They can earn additional free minutes through various promotional offers. Lycos Phone users also get a free U.S. phone number that is not the case with Skype and Yahoo. Moreover, unlike Skype and Yahoo, Lycos Phone offers free FAX and free voicemail to email.
