Skype, at least for me, has been a lifeline - it costs me 1/100th to talk to clients in the States (not to mention family).

With that said - you can also buy up to ten incoming phone numbers for a Skype account and it comes with free voicemail. When we get back I'm going to set up a sep. line *just* for business calls - two main reasons for this being when I'm in-office my computer, and relatively, my business phone are on, when I'm out of office it's off and I don't have to worry about after hours calls.

And each incoming number costs less than a 'real' landline per month.
