Skype

Skype is a free Internet-based telephony product that enables users to make free Internet-based phone calls and to send instant messages. Skype is a peer-to-peer service, and the call quality will depend on where the other person is located and what device or network they are using. 

WARNING: Do NOT use Skype to call emergency services. Unlike an ordinary telephone, Skype cannot automatically provide your location information to services such as 911.
