Google Voice

Google Voice is an easy, great way to communicate with others without a phone!  On Google Hangouts, there is a small box on the lower left hand corner that allows you to type in any phone number and call it from the computer, completely free.  You can set up Google Voice so if you want to call someone and reach them on all different lines (computer, cell phone, home phone) it will ring on all of them.  The benefit of using Google Voice is it's easier to call and reach an individual on all different lines.
