[…] After Yahoo cancelled my “Loyal Account” with them. i had to move on to Skype, i knew i was payingÂ probably 2% more for my calls, but i never really had any problems with skype. Now, i had to inform my Yahoo Calling contacts to move out to skype, which includes my family too. But since my parents and siblings are not IT happy. they prefered me calling them on their normal phones.. […]

Yahoo is dead to me since they started a big bag of bulls*** over at flickr with their German version and Censoring pictures.
Plus all that crap that went on with them giving information to third parties, picture use without credit to flickr users and so on.
Since then I try to avoid them like the plague.

Sorry, you have so much trouble though :(!

Despite their bad action, I think MOC of Kuwait should be blamed here as it seems they are just following regulations. Ofcourse they want more customers and money. I had Yahoo PC-To-Phone credits so I wonder what would happen to them now. This is just ridiculous where we are living.

However I agree Yahoo should’ve been able to figure this out from start, and in fact, instead of sending promo emails that I only delete, they should inform all their customers of the change.

My voice out service is still active. Not sure if they will disconnect. Thing is I always have had problems with their voice quality (as compared to Skype), so I usually end up using Skype.

I have been a Yahoo! domain hosting user for more than 5 years, so they will think twice before disconnecting me.

Yes .. thats right 3baid… but how many are on the path of being blocked? for example its extremely easy to block sites like Skype.com as it doesnt offer anything else apart from VOIP… Qualitynet has already blocked net2phone.com ..

Yahoo was a bit difficult as it would need to be specific port blocks .. sometimes a bit complex. Yahoo offers too many services like webhosting , paid email services , Launchcast etc.. Blocking their domain .. would deprieve the population from paid services ..

Blocking Yahoo .. would be like Blocking Itunes / apple from ipod users

There are hundreds of similar services out there that do the same, if not better, than Yahoo. It’s their loss if they can’t satisfy their own users.

Im studying options .. there are major players like skype, go2call and others.. but problem is .. that it is extremely easy for the ministry to block these providers . Yahoo was a bit difficult as it has mulitple services .. blocking them would deprive users from Email, and other important services…

will see whats out there.

Sad that Yahoo has come to this!!!

I thought Yahoo was great having various net services and now they don’t want their “other countries” customers and just drop ‘em high & dry coz they have now filled their “designated countries customers”.

What do we do now???
