If you have been using Skype or another VOIP product you might look at GoogleTalk, a free product for gmail users and a simple plug for your browser. It seems to work with very degrees of ease with Firefox 3 and 4 (Beta), Chrome and IE7. You do need a gmail account (which is free). Go to www.gmail.com and select "Create an account." Follow the prompts.

Once you have created an account simply sign in. The basic gmail screen appears above. If you activate "Chat", you will see a green "Call phone" icon under the Chat heading.

You can use your contacts as listed or select the phone icon to bring up a touchpad to enter a phone number.

Sample rates for various are listed below.
Clicking the Clock item on the keypad brings up a hostory of your calls.
