I am currently in Vietnam visiting my wife. To make free call to the U.S (USCIS), I use Google Voice, which is free to American. All I need is a U.S proxy to access it. For that, I use proxy switcher to find U.S proxies. It works perfectly and the sound is crystal clear. I just thought it is good to let you guys know about Google Voice.

You can call any number in the U.S. That is the main benefit over IM.

Ability? Yes. For someone that needs to talk to a party without a pc or internet connection I understand the benefit.

one big problem with google voice is the occasionally audio delay. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable. Google has to address this at some point.

K1: 01/15/2009 (mailed I-129F) - 06/23/2009 (visa received)

AOS: 08/08/2009 (mailed I-485, I-765, & I-131) - 10/29/2009 (received GC)
