    Windows Messenger Live (currently in public beta) provides a VoIP function if you subscribe to "Verizon Web Calling". The rates are fairy typical 2.1c/min to a range of countries. (In other words, higher than other, upstart VoIP providers, but better than you'd expect from a "major" and half what Verion charges it's own domestic "Voicewing" customers).

    It was announced last week that the service "has been expanded to include Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands".

    I couldn't find any information about using a "Verizon Web Calling" account with anything other than Messenger, but that doesn't seem viable. And to get pricing information, I had to log in with an MSN passport account.

    https://webcalling.mci.com/ (Yes, an MCI url for Verizon Web Calling.)
