other is talking through a phone. can anyone please help

Did you try searching google for the software? Use terms like "VOIP",
microphone.

VOIP stands for "voice over IP." It requires more than just software on your
PC. This technique is available as a service for a fixed monthly fee from a
service provider. They provide the link from your Internet connection to the
other party's phone.

If you want to talk to a specific person where both of you are not using
telephones, then I suspect that there is some software available. It would
be like a chat room package; only instead of typing messages back and force
you use your microphones. However, you can only talk to a person who agrees
to link with you. You don't get the telephone style where you can call
anybody you want.

Search for "Voice over Internet Protocol" or "VoIP".
