For Skype you need a PC (don't know if they offer the program for Mac), and the PC has to have a soundcard with both a microphone inlet and a speaker outlet. Then anything compatible, you plug into these jacks will actually work. However it is best - especially if you are going to be hypnotised, that you use a headset with a combination of earphones and microphone. They can be got quite cheap.
You can use Skype from computer to computer or from computer to a normal phone. However this is not free. Computer to computer is. And since I'm in Denmark and you are in another country (I'm guessing the US), it would be free with two computers - compared to a lengthy, costly long-distance phone call!!
