Try Google Voice
Google Voice is Google's entry into the world of VOIP - sort of. It's an alternative to the mega-conglomerate Skype. It competes against Skype and Oovoo, and even Vonage and magicJack.
Google's version is interesting. instead of making calls from your desktop or laptop (which you can do), Google sort of hijacks your phone - your cell phone, home phone, any phone - I'd guess even a Vonage or magicJack phone, too. You place a call on your Google Voice page, your phone rings, you pick it up, and then Google connects to the number you've entered in Google Voice. Interesting.
The only downside I've found is that there's not a good APP for it on my smart phone. If there were, I'd stop downsize my minutes and get rid of texting and do it all through the app. I'd pay decent money for an app that would do all that.
