Phones and VoIP

ciphergothTwo questions:
1) By any chance, does anyone have a spare tri- or quad-band phone I can use while I'm in SF? My SIM card has arrived and I have a phone I can use in this country, but it would be nice to have a phone while I'm away.
2) What's the best way to get a voice conversation between a Linux and a Windows machine? I have Ekiga installed under Linux and it seems to work, and I've got myself a SIP address, so one way would be to find a good SIP client for Windows. But perhaps I should be using something else altogether? I've Googled, of course, but one recommendation from someone who's been there is worth a thousand searches.

Date: 2007-01-29 04:12 pm (UTC)- sorry for being unclear. X-Lite is of course a SIP client. The ubuntu thing was because I couldn't find a decent SIP client for Linux at the time...
- It's some time since I've installed it under Windows, and what's there for download seems to be one or two major versions removed from what I tried. I can't speak for what they've done to it, but if the basic features remain the same then it should be at least ok, perhaps even very good.
