The cheapest way to do it is Skype. It works like an instant messanger, except it allows voice and video chat all through your computer. It helps best if both people have a microphone (headset is optional) and a webcam because then you get the advantage of seeing each other.
If phone is the better option for you then check out 18866. You just register your landline and debit or credit card and they bill you each month. To America it is just 2p/minute and there is no connection fee. Another plus about 18866 is that they give you unlimited free (except for the 5p connection fee) UK landline to UK landline calls whenever you want.
I'm from the US and lived in the UK for 3 years and found 18866 the best because I could call anyone's landline or mobile in the states for such a cheap rate. But now that I'm back in the US my boyfriend and I speak through Skype.

The best way I know is by buying a tesco internet phone. Its only 2p per minute to call any USA Landline or Mobile. All you do is plug the handset into your computer. you get a brandnew uk landline over your broadband. Calling qaulity is identical to your normal landline. the handsets are £15 with £5 of calling credit included. Also, they deliver the handsets worldwide, so you can send one to your mate, as calls between them are free anywhere in the world.

Skype if you have a fast internet connection and the quality is acceptable for you. In other case go with Dial Around or Calling Cards.
For Dial-Around I suggest tel3 http://www.tel3com.com/ or 1015335 http://www.dialaroundworld.com/
For Calling Cards either 1st4phonecards (UK company) http://www.first4cards.co.uk/ or Nobelcom http://www.nvcards.com/

yeah, miltel is the cheapist. Go to miltel.com, if you are with BT. If you use a phone card, you have to get a British one. Cost's to much. Miltel is your best bet.
