AIM is close to making AIM Phoneline, which lets you receive calls from a local phone number FOR FREE!!! Now, AIM is bloatware (I DONT NEED PLAXO, VLC, AOL EXPLORER, AOL TOOLBAR, OR AOL!!!), but this I could live with. Now, you should be thinking, “How will AOL make money off of this?” The answer, AIM Phoneline Unlimited, will cost $14.95 a month for calls to all local and long-distance numbers and 30 foreign countries. AOL plans to launch the service in the top 50 U.S markets in late May, according to the USA Today.

Diane, you need to go to http://www.aimphoneline.com/. Scroll down to the bottom, and click the Upgrade Now button.

Just signed up today and I’ve gotta say not too shabby. Local number, voicemail messages get sent to email, caller ID. I could get used to this.
