In addition to PC-to-PC calls that have been supported in
previous versions, Windows Live Messenger now supports
PC-to-phone calls with Windows Live Call. In the US, this
feature is supported by Verizon, branded as "Verizon Web
Calling". Orange France also has a similar service. This feature
is only available in selected countries, including the US, the
UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, Finland,
Belgium, Spain, and Italy. Verizon ended service in August 2008
and was replaced in the US with Telefonica, while Orange will
offer the service for the rest of the world.
