Yak Community Client is a free product from yak communications inc. that enables you to participate in its many Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) service offerings, including the yakForFree service. yakForFree allows you to make free voice and video calls to anyone else on the Internet who is also using yakForFree.

To make calls to regular phones, be they landline or cellular phones anywhere in the world, you would need to upgrade to one of yak's three subscription services: yakToAnyone, yakBasic, or yakUnlimited. You can upgrade via the yak Community website or by clicking the upgrade button on the yak Virtual VideoPhone.

  • yakToAnyone - a prepaid add-on feature allowing outbound calling to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Purchase $5.00 - $100.00 (in $5.00 increments) of prepaid outbound long distance minutes at $.02 per minute USA and Canada and at international rates.
  • yakBasic - a presubscribed service, offering 10-hours of USA and Canada outbound calling for $9.99usd/$12.99cad. You can use your yakForFree Virtual VideoPhone and/or add a yak Phone Adapter that will allow you to place outgoing calls from a standard telephone.
  • yakUnlimited - a presubscribed service, offering unlimited inbound and outbound USA and Canada calling for $19.99usd/$24.99cad. This unlimited product gives you a local North American phone number for incoming calls and numerous associated features (e.g. voice mail, unified messaging, caller ID, etc.). You can use your yakForFree Virtual VideoPhone and/or add a yak Phone Adapter that will allow you to place outgoing calls from a standard telephone.

yakForFree includes all of the features of standard telephones, including hold and conferencing.
