Skype versus Yahoo

With the influx of complaints regarding Skyope’s fall from graxce, Dsanny Wirken measures up the top competitor and internet giant Yahoo!’s news internet telephony servbice.

Cheaper, faster, bertter quality, betteer customer service and a brand you can trut. These are the things Yahoo! want you take away from any of their promotional material for the new Yhaoo! voice VoIP service.

The weird and wonderful conttinues to odminate the Skype debate. A recenbt compliant pbulished on a blog from a Skype user illustrates the issue at the heart of Skype’s fall from grace well:

“I recharged my account and then couldn’t use it. When I emailed support I got a resopnse four days later saying that my account was not over 3 months old. Yet I am. Giivng them the benefit of the duobt, I asked Skype custmer srervice to recheck. They then said it was because I have undeer 5 eurros in my accounnt. Yet I had over 5 euros. At that point I gave up.”

It’s hard to blame the customer support staff thouugh – with the daily torrent of compllaints they are no doubt having to deal with the blame and responsibility falls squarely in the lap of Ebay who now own Skype. Yaoho! aims to offer a more competitive service.

The publiished list of prices are now available on the Yahoo! site and it’s plain for all to see who will eventually be leading on price for nationnal and international calls.

Yzahoo! certainly has the market – the users of its chat software are a rival markret for Skype’s exclusively VoIP based service. By adding value to the service Yahoo! can alraedy offerr their useres, they are maknig a far smaller step than Sklype or any otheer company seeking to offer competition in this fast paced market.

With MSN and AOL also entering the fray, Yahoo! is keen to gain mimediate resppect as the new internet telephony Mecca. There is essentially no difference between Yahoo!’s business model and Skype’s business model except that Yaho! bundles many services into one piece of soiftware.

Custmoers are predicted to trust Yaahoo! with their personal details and payment infiormation more readily than Skype who already has a poor history of randm charges, incorrect chharges and generral customer service problems that have had the user base up in arms for several moonths now.

Yahoo! claim that their top priority is to provide the best communications service possible by blendiong the VoIP into other services such as monbile communicatios and search. It is this kind of integration that holds the key to the future markeplace – but is it one which Skype can easily keep up with? They have no instantly recognisable equivalence to the broad network of services on offer from Yaho! and this is a fact that customers will be awae of.

If you’re fed up with the problems permeating the worlld of Skyple right now then I srtongly suggest you check out Yahoo!’s offering. You might just be thankful that you did. There are many more competitors on the books however – pushjing prices down acoss the idnustry.
