Icon ABDialer 2.0

With the Apple Address Book included with Mac OS X you have a system wide address book with sync ability and much more. But what if you need to place a phone call to a contact in your Address Book? You can have your computer autodial using some mobile phones, but you can't do this with your home phone line. One year ago ABDialer introduced the ability to use your desk phone to dial from Address Book and now, with ABDialer 2, you can do even more. New features, new look and even more integration.

Icon iChat AV 3.1.8

Finally, you can chat with folks thousands of miles away in a full-screen personal videoconference over any broadband connection. Thanks to the advanced graphics built into Mac OS X, they'll truly look like themselves, instead of strangers made of children's building blocks. And if you use a wide aspect ratio screen, iChat AV uses patented anamorphic resizing techniques so that the video of the person you're chatting with fills the entire screen without distortion.
Still the best way to IM
You can also start a text message with your buddies during audio and video chats. Transmit any kind of file, and when you send photos, they display right in the Message window instead of launching a disconnected window from another application. Icons and thought bubbles make it fun to see who's saying what in your conversations. You can drag a Web address into the iChat AV message window, and the thought bubble will launch the page in your Buddy's Safari browser when someone clicks on it.

You can send SMS messages to most mobile phones in the United States through AIM.
Shift-Command-N will open New Chat with Person
Enter the phone number in this format +1xxxxxxxxxx i.e. +1 (area code) (phone number)
