I am currently using Yahoo Messenger to talk to my family in Perth WA. Works well on a Broadband connection don't bother with a 56k connection.
There are loads of comanies offering this service, but I used yahoo and haven't had any problems.

msn is good... you both have to be using the same one though. Also Broadband is a must unless you want one frame per 5 seconds!
