Best Bet: Deltathree

Internet phone quality still isn't thrilling.

But if you want to use one of these Net phone services regularly, your best bet is Deltathree. Through its consumer division, IConnectHere.com, Deltathree permits both PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone calls. You can call anywhere in the United States for free. And voice quality is consistently good. Deltathree also provides an easy-to-use interface with a handy address book.

Editor's Note: After we went to press, Deltathree changed its offerings, and its services are now fee-based.
