I second both Aphaia and Mark
IRC is much better for communication
but we do use regular phone call conferences between 2-3 users to communicate as well, I don't prefer to have large scale conferences through this method or Skype.

Concur with Markie. IRC has the larger capacity than skype and its
client is free. If you mean the voice chat, instead of text base
conversation, as a non native speaker of English, and as Transcom
chair, regarding the potential translation, I strongly oppose to have
our regular meeting on voice chat.
