The problem you are experiencing is "latency". This is typically an issue, so you want to connect to the PSTN in a way that does not make you have to "hop" all the way back. If the latency is because of a saturation at a point closest to your traveler, almost nothing will help the call quality, no matter what application you use.
I would agree that getting around it with another provider or connection that doesn't "hop too many places" to get you on/off the pstn is the way to go. I might suggest first to try gmail with the little outbound calls for free ap embedded in the chat window, because it is perhaps the simplest thing to deploy. A headset (or speaker/mic) with a web browser to make those outbound calls. Trying that if the quality is "ok" might be the "simplest" but not the best... I'm not a skype user or fan, as I find the software to be "virus like" in the way it handles resources on a PC, but sometimes you have to do whatever you need to get over a hump...
