Most chat and instant message (IM) services are free of charge. Here are links to some of the more popular services.\nAOL Instant Messenger (AIM): http://www.aim.com\nYahoo! Messenger: http://messenger.yahoo.com\nICQ: http://www.icq.com\nJabber: http://www.jabber.org\nMSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com\n\nAlso take a look at Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which is used for group chatting, rather than the one-on-one model of instant messaging. There's information at http://www.irchelp.org .\n\nThe various IM services each use different client programs, but there are also programs out there that will communicate with multiple IM services; these programs are very useful if you need to use more than one service.\nFor Linux: Gaim, http://gaim.sf.net\nFor Mac OS X: Fire, http://fire.sf.net\nFor Windows: Trillian, http://www.trillian.cc\n\nAll these resources are free, except for the Pro version of Trillian.\n\nGood luck!

http://www.msn2go.com/ is text based and reliable for MSN. \ne-messenger and webmessenger mentioned above do a good job. I would go for webmessenger first. if that doesnt work, then msn2go would be second choice.\n\nhttp://jpager.yahoo.com/jpager/messenger.html is the java web based version of Yahoo messenger.

If both parties have the internet then MSN messenger has a Voice Chat function, as do many Instant Message programs. If you are not a fan of IM's, try Ventrillo or Teamspeak.\n\nSkype has already been mentioned.\n\nYou can purchase telephone handsets for your PC if a headset/mic combo is not suitable.
