We have used Skype to facilitate telecommuting (making calls to landlines). Great low cost way to stay in contact with the office and to do business with contractors. Also, we sometimes use the chat feature for quick questions even when we are sitting 20 feet away from the person we are chatting with. We have even used it to send images for quick review and approval.
