Default Calling Internet Messengers

What internet messenger are you using? How is their quality in calling people to their phones? Is the rate of the internet messengers cheaper than using our own phones to call overseas?

I've been using MSN. For some reason, just showing the webcam hasn't been working, but video call works. It's pretty good if both people have a fast internet connection. I don't have a landline anyway - I use my cell phone for most calls.

Oh gosh, I wish I could. But we live way, way, way out in God's country and there are no towers nearby to carry the signal. If I want cell service I have to go out of the valley that I live in and park by a barn (of all things) to make a cell phone call. Just doesn't work for me.

I run Triillian so I have all IM's connected at once but I seldom use it for international speak, I do have a VOIP line if I really want to talk to someone.

I use Skype. It's the best VOIP and enables me to physically talk to and watch on the webcam my grandchildren far away. I can also use it to type IMs and such as with any other IM service.

I haven't tried phone calls on other IM services but I second what was said about Skype. I've only used the Skype-to-Skype calls but they were crystal clear, like the person was standing right beside me.
