Virtual phone line is undoubtedly a revolution in the communication business. Not only does it bridges the gap between families like mine who can't afford to make long distance calls to our loved ones living in London and California but is also used for business purposes. 
My mom in USA isn't very good with computer and internet and it was very frustrating for me to explain her how to log on to skype or msn if we wanted to have a voice chat. She used to buy prepaid calling cards which costs around $5 to $10 every time she wanted to speak to me. And calling my mom from here (Pakistan) was even expensive. Virtual Phone line has done wonders for both me and my mom. We got a Loma Linda, California number from Virtual Phone Line for an unbelievably low monthly fee and me & my mom now talk everyday for hours!! Thanks to Virtual Phone Line. She doesn't pays anything for dialing a local California number and the call comes on my Skype. The voice quality is AWESOME!!! and we literally talk for hours over current affairs, weather, family, politics, movies and what not without worrying of the bills! Virtual phone line makes it really easy for families to connect through instant messengers like msn, yahoo, Google, skype and even your cell phone or home phone and even at your fax at really low price. I also have a dedicated UK number for my uncle who lives in UK and it has been ages since I or my family had to use a calling card
