One of the revolutions that computers, including smart phones, have ushered into reality is long-distance and world-wide voice calling with little-to-no cost to the participants of the call. This week we want to hear about your favorite VoIP or voice chat application.

We've done video calling applications before, but straight up voice calling apps have been neglected by the Hive Five - until now.
We want you to nominate your all-time favorite voice calling apps. Let us know what you love about it: Is it easy to use? Is the call quality crystal clear, or is it especially lag free? Does it have widespread mobile integration letting you use it on the go? Nominate your favorite apps below by creating a new comment with the text VOTE: Name of your favorite app, and why you are nominating it.
We have a few ideas here at Lifehacker but would love to hear what you, the readers are really excited about.
The votes will be tallied over the weekend and on Sunday we will publish the top five, allowing you to vote on the overall favorite app.
About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. Last week's Hive Five featured your best all around PDF Tool Foxit.
