Slate has an article extolling Skype. However, whenever someone calls
me on Skype I almost always can tell due to the poor sound quality so
I tell them to hang up and call me back on a real phone. If they have
a real reason to talk to me they can pay to use a real phone.

Skype works so good, and is so inexpensive, that I can't believe it's still
legal.
