Googletalk - an amazing free technology
Googletalk is my favourite discovery this year.
It is a free application that you download from Google. It allows you to speak through your computer's microphone or headset in real time with anyone else that has googletalk FOR FREE. The sound quality is unbelievable. If a regular phone is 100% quality, Googletalk is 97%. For great results use a headset which can be purchased for less that 10 dollars. I have been using Google talk for three months and have saved a pile of dough in long distance charges. I should mention that you need to have a Gmail (google mail) account to use Googletalk - and you can only get one through being invited by someone that already has Gmail....but MANY MANY people already have a gmail account so hopefully it won`t be a problem.... You can download Googletalk here http://www.google.com/talk/

Also, should anyone want a Gmail account, I have a TON of invites left that I would be happy to give away. Just send a PM if anyone wants one

Skype - It's been around much longer - I tried it and it's not as clear.
It does have some better features like transferring files, 3 way conversations and the possibility of video (which googletalk does have too but you have to download another application) - but overall the audio quality - at least from my experience is inferior. Try it free though... www.skype.com

You can do that on msn messenger as well. All you need is a mic and speakers.
