Internet Telephony has been in existence for over 5 years now. I am sure you all remember services like Net2Phone, and Dial-Pad. Lot of other companies have come and gone. The 2 of the recent ones are the best and are here to stay for a long, long time.
1. Skype - In addition to regular PC phone calls, Skype application allows making free calls to any landline or cell number from your PC. This is only limited to calls made within United States and Canada.

2. Windows Live Messenger - This is by far the best IM messenger of all. The most recent version has an option called "Video Call". Free Video Conferencing at its best. No other program beats Windows Live Messenger voice and webcam picture quality. You can talk with your folks in India and at the same time see them live. All you need at both location is mike, speakers, and webcam.
