Here’s a site that will give Skype a run for it’s money. Jajah.com is a new voice over IP (VoIP) service that uses the internet to place cheap long distant phone calls — domestic & international. 
The difference is that unlike Skype where you’re tethered to your PC you enter your number in jajah.com along with the number you want to call. Click dial and Jajah rings your number connecting you to the call and then rings the party you’re calling. Other than initiating the call, the computer is no longer part of the equation so, if you used your cell phone, you can be out the door and on your way chatting with your mate in Merry Olde England while on your way to the dry cleaners. They offer a 5 minute free trial which I used to chat up a buddy in Adelaide ($0.0232/minute otherwise) and then I called my sister in Houston at $0.0174/minute. The only confusing part is that, while you can pay for the service by credit card, it’s a ‘post-paid’ system – you pay after the fact.
Hey, look a dollar! Guess I’ll call my buddy in Australia back and chat for 43 minutes!
