Using Skype
Since a day or two I've been using Skype to call my girl in New York city. It works great once we read the known bugs report. The sound is even clearer than a normal phone (the headset has to do with that I think) and there is no delay whatsoever (there used to be). Brilliant. I was working today and the phone rang - that is, Skype rang on my laptop. A great experience, and since the calls are free nobody feels about about hanging on the phone for a while.
