I charge people for my professional skype account time that we chat with voice. Instant messaging is vital in managing people's online businesses for them. I encourage my clientele to use phones and skype or text me (which ever is cheaper) as they actually do PAY for my support. It is factored into my costs, every thing I need to do for them is factored in with a 1.5x buffer (allows costs to go up if needed without raising prices). I suggest you do the same as that instant interaction has made me far more sales than simple informal methods.

I always prefer email + skype. Sometime my emails land in spam folder that time skype is the option for client to communicate with me and i always do text chats (no one on one chat) to manage multiple clients at a time.

ActiveCollab is my current favorite, but it's not cheap. $500 for the self hosted version, but it does everything from project management to time tracking and invoicing and handling payments. Only big feature it's missing is creating tasks by email.
My main problem with the free open source tools is that they are ugly as sin and clients will avoid using it.
I have noticed lately that there is more and more often a kind of miscommunication between my client and myself. It happens that one of us unintentionally oversees a message and then something doesn't get done in time. This is very annoying thing on Skype. It's easy to oversee a message.
I am not agree with you, skype is a source of instant communication in all over the world, people familiar with interface and its easy to use. Almost every internet user have skype ID which is the most easy way to cotact a person anywhere in the world
according to my experience it saves our lot of time instead of wasting time
