CYF is the abbreviation of CALL YOU FREE. Call You Free is a free web communication service originally developed to encourage communication in the internet community, the internauts.
However, several tentatives failed at the beginning and internauts took some time to approve the initiative because of hardware and bandwidth limitations by the time it was developed. Other developers released similar products but the distinctive features of Call You Free was that it used Click2Call Technology, that lets the caller place his webcall using a webphone within a browser. Remember that all the earliest transmissions of voice over internet protocol required separate software to establish the communication. We are talking about using only the internet browser. That was really a new concept.
Many complaints fall over CALL YOU FREE, specially from the open source community, because originally it was developed to run for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (version 5 or higher), but today other developers joined the project to develop it for other internet browsers.

“What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“Don’t get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
