Using your internet connection for long distance phone calls is certainly cheaper than traditional service from the local phone company. Unlimited long distance phone calls within the U.S. for $3 per month is hard to pass up.

Skype, one of the leaders in internet phone and video phone, lets you call any regular telephone in the U.S. at that $3 monthly rate. They also offer Free calls from one Skype user to another- that's voice or video, free, going computer to computer.
