I have niece in Atlanta and a nephew in Minnesota who I have talked to using Skype. Seems just as good as a regular phone line to me. I use a 12" Powerbook and the mike is fine, just plug in my ipod earphones to avoid the feedback echo. I have also use dit locally with a few friends and again no problems, so I haven't bothered with a head set.
I haven't tried their Skype out service as I haven't found a need, but VOIP is probably the way of the future.
