We have used Skype for our long distance for about a month now. I'm very impressed with the quality and ease of use. I have suggested it to my friends, but of course, some lag behind. I can only do the best I can do!
For those of you not familiar, Skype uses your existing internet connection. If your friends have Skype, you can call pc to pc for free even with video. For a fee (approximately $30 A YEAR!), you have unlimited long distance. The quality is very good. All you really need is a headset or a Skype phone. I got one of those for Christmas, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
Sadly though for us, some of our family and friends do not have a pc; some of our friends won't take the few minutes to download and set it up. At least we're able to call others cheaply and with good quality.
I highly recommend it. We were blowing tons of dollars on a cell which did not work very well where we live currently. With Skype, we at least feel more connected with the outside world.
