Review summary Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better. Though its plans cost a bit more than those of competing VoIP services, AT&T CallVantage stands out for its consistently strong call quality and long list of features. Lingo offers low rates that will appeal especially to international callers, but its call quality is inconsistent compared to some VoIP services. Download FWD, and you'll be able to make free calls over the Internet within minutes to other FWD users as well as to other Internet phone networks. The changes to Skype 3 are mostly entertainment-oriented and there are no major upgrades to performance, but we still like Skype for its ease of use, low cost, and sound quality.
