That is if it is okay with SR?
ICQ is I Seek You software that allows you to tell when your mates are online, when they log on and off and so on. If they are online, you can just fire up ICQ and type them a message like: "Hello!" and they will receive it instantly and then you can start a conversation online.
If you have MSN Messenger, and your mates also have it, you can talk to them via microphone instead of typing messages. There is no costs, the software is free, and no phone charges.
All my family is on Messenger which means we no longer have to phone each other. We just use MSN.
Try msn.co.uk or www.icq.com for the relevant downloads.
