I use SIP voice over IP. It's a wide field though. In principle it's a 
peer to peer protocol, but as most machines you would use it on today are 
behind firewalls, there needs to be a relay to make connections, typically 
a SIP provider offering STUN and/or TURN services

I would suggest to start here for good client software

this one even does point to point encryption:

As for SIP providers, it's a shady world :s

I use vopibuster.com and voipcheap.co.uk simultanously to make free calls 
to landlines and cheap ones to mobiles around the world.

Our good comrades at riseup put this into their 'grimoire':

Nut if you really want secure communications, the whole chain needs to be 
in the hands of people you trust of course
