I have been using Skype for a year now and I love it!  Right now, they are offering FREE calls anywhere to the U.S. until 2007!  Take advantage of it.  \n\nI pay Skype to have a phone number so people can call in. When it does cost money, it only costs like $0.02 to call in the US and Europe.  You can't beat that with the telephone companies!\n\nCurrently Yahoo has a similar thing but they do not have free calls, only a free introductory 10 minute call, or something like that.

You should try out Skype . It is much better. \nThe call quality is very good and there is a new beta version which has video calling. It is a good way to cut call costs, and even has a skype out and in option.\n\nSkypeout: By buying credit you can call landlines from skype anywhere in the world at local rates.\n\nSkypein: Available in some countries, skype give you a number and people can contact you on skype by dial in this number

Most software-based answering systems should have this capability (or even a low cost digital answering machine, if you don't want your computer running all the time).\n\nA quick check of Google and Yahoo for call recording software gives lots of results.

this could simply be that you and the person you are trying to webcam with are not using the same (most recent version of the comms software)\n\ntry emailing or text chating to the person and see if you are both on the same version of the comms software.\n\nyou may be advised to try www.skype.com if you both have the latest version (download and install on the same day) then this may solve the video chat option.\n\nrememeber skype is free to download and use. you only need to pay if you want to make call from your pc to a mobile or landline, or if you want to transfer calls from your skype to your cell phone when you are not at your desk or offline.\nread full details at www.skype.com

You can't make cellular calls from computer for free of cost. You need to buy a calling package from Yahoo!, Skype, etc.,

they have a some services like Skype Out where you can call someone who is not a Skype user that they charge for (real cheap). They have other services that they charge for too but they are so inexpensive that they figure even the free users will utilise them.

Skype, also allows people to call you e.g. SkypeIN, allocates a telephone number to your pc, for people to call you back (free)

If its a landline(not a cellphone) you can just block all restricted callers...the phone call will not go through without revealing the number...just call your phone company to put call blocking on.

Good question because there are several interesting answers.\n\nAs the Other Poster (OP) mentioned Skype.com and Yahoo Messenger with Voice let you make free PC to PC calls. You can even leave voicemail for the other person.\n\nBut a simpler answer may be to use a cellphone. Some cell phones have low international rates.\n\nYou can also look into Voice over IP or VOIP services like Vonage which sometimes have very low rates.\n\nConsider using prepaid cards available at convenience stores. Some of the price per minute rates are super low.\n\nBest wishes!

You can use services like Dialpad (www.dialpad.com), Yahoo Messenger (recently started outgoing calls)and Skype (www.skype.com) in case you might have to call occassionally. I personally prefer skype, its cheaper (2 cents/min to US from anywhere in the world) and clear. If you plan to call a lot, then probably you want to take some net based phone like Vonage, Packet8 etc with you. These companies provide unlimited talk time for 20-25 dollars. You just have to take their modem and you can connect it to any phone. These days vonage also provides an internet dialer just like dialpad etc \n(http://vonage.com/features.php?feature=softphone).\nI hope that helps

You can use the phone to make free telephone calls or almost free calls. This alone is a dream come true for those who do not have a fortune for making phone calls Especially long distance calls. There is a software called skype you can download if it isn't already on your computer.  Many cell phones now have ip addresses as well so you can call your friends and acquaintances and business associates. The security can be very high for these calls.
