At the moment, I think this is way better than Skype, Yahoo IM voice chat, etc…I’ve been using FWD for over a year with my cable broadband service & didn’t have to set up any port forwarding on my broadband router. Obviously you’ld need a mic/speakers connected to your PC.

You can also use your regular telephone via an adapter http://voipstore.pulver.com/product_info.php?products_id=32 & IP phone http://voipstore.pulver.com/product_info.php?products_id=33. Adapters & IP phones from different vendors like Cisco are available.
