Skype (rhymes with type) is a p2p phone system that is a free download from www.skype.com. It works a lot like AIM or MSN would with a "buddy list" with either other Skype accounts (free to communicate) or regular phone lines (vary in price). When you sign up they give you 5 mins to make calls to try out this feature. From what I have tried Skype works pretty well...very slight delay. It is a much better alternative to Instant Messaging which personally drives me crazy. You can even make conference calls on Skype! I would highly recommend getting a Skype account today, it only takes a few minutes to set up!
