On my Mac Skype sounds better than iChat. I played with it the other day and called several normal phone numbers with mixed results (they had trouble understanding me), which I think has more to do with the microphone I am using and my background noise than the software. Skype runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and windows and its pretty cool. One of my friends likes Gizmo better, but I don't have an opinion yet. I am going to buy a better headset and give them both another try.
Skype is a VoIP application, available in both free and paid versions for Mac OS X and Windows. VoIP, which stands for "voice over Internet protocol," is a type of technology that refers to any communication taking place over a network, such as the Internet. VoIP can include instant messages, video conferencing and even fax messages sent online instead of through a telephone line. You can use Skype to communicate with friends and family or hold business conferences.
