I forgot about VOIP. I can't skype my mother because she doesn't have internet connection in her home. But I can make calls to landlines from Skype. I used Skype daily to talk to my ex so I'm just so skyped out and really wanting to avoid it but I suppose for the sake of saving money I can make amends again. And on my iPhone I can have a skype app and I'm sure I can make calls through it!
