I had a tough time getting it recognized by messenger. It only works with version 8 of messenger. When it does connect, the volume is too low. The phone is too small and the cradle tips over easily. Not recommended.
After some false starts I got the phone to work. There are a couple of gotchas: Don't upgrade to the newer version of Yahoo Messenger, use the version that comes on the CD with the phone (version 8). Also, don't log in to Yahoo Messenger as "invisible to everyone" or it won't be able to make calls.
The phone then worked fine for calls within the U.S. But it seems that every time I try to make a call out of the country (to the Mali Republic, West Africa to be precise) they deactivate my account. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that the deactivation has twice happened immediately after my attempted (always unsuccessful) calls to Mali.
Calling Mali is the only reason I bought this phone, as Yahoo's advertised rates are the lowest that I've found ($.19/min on Yahoo vs $.30/min on Skype or Jajah). However, it does me very little good if I can't place calls.
I may give it one more chance, but otherwise I'll just use this as a landline (that part works fine) and go back to Skype for my VOIP. I bought this USB Phone Adapter for Skype, MSN, Yahoo, USB VOIP Interface connects your home phone to network which works great with Skype (I never got it to work well with Yahoo).

I bought this about a year ago and used it for a short while. the voice is very low even when the volume is set to highest.
I bought this cordless phone almost 3 years ago, it worked fine with my old version of yahoo messanger, i haven't used it with the new version.
As these days i only use it as my normal phone, this phone has the most amazing battery life.
Its now 3 years and battery life is just awesome, with one charge almost 2-3 days.....
If you are looking for a decent phone with good battery life then you can always give it a shot....
These items were sold to me out of manufacturers warranty by more than a year. Also , they are not Mac OS compatible. The manufacturer said they are now going to support Macs but they have not shipped any .

"Good looking phone but Yahoo Voice isn't so great"

Logitech makes one of the best peripherals, this phone is no exception. Sturdy, nice screen, buttons feel nice, can be used as both yahoo and landline phone. Its missing a clip for the belt if thats a deal breaker for anyone. Yahoo needs to but more work on their Voice services. A lot of skipping and sometimes you can't even call at all. Cheap calls to Vietnam ($.10/min) and Philippines ($.16/min) :)
