I think, maybe wrongly, that you can only phone people who have it in use.
My reluctance includes the fact that I am not a pretty sight.

You don`t need to use the webcam, mic and speakers is all that`s needed, it`s just using your internet connection as a phone line. You can even get skype phones so you can use it without a PC -
Skype desktop and home phones - Make Skype calls from your desk or home phone - Skype Shop
Free to ring other skype users. You can also ring landlines and mobiles but there is a charge.
Here are current rates -
Skype Calling Rates - Cheap international calls & low-cost calling plans
If you have similar problems in the future, you at least have a way of contacting people (unless you lose internet connection as well).
