Voice Over IP Choices

Me and a buddy that are doing arenas together need to find a new way to communicate whenever we're playing nowadays. We used to have a guild vent but since we are playing horde characters, and they are an alliance guild, they don't appreciate us being on their server. After that happened, I set up my own server for vent on my computer for a few months. Now though, I'm back at college and we can't set up the server anymore. There's no way to open the ports on my end how we usually did it. My friend can't set up the server at his place either because his router for whatever reason hates us and doesn't for the love of god want to work. This pretty much rules out anything that will require us to run a server on any of our computers. Plus he's pretty computer illiterate. I'm surprised he was smart enough to install WoW on his computer to begin with, so him trying to get the server on his computer is completely out of the question.

I've been told to use skype, but the lack of a push to talk feature really discourages me from doing so. We both get a lot of background noise from our surroundings, so it would be annoying as hell to be in a call and hear each other breathing the whole damn time. I've heard there are a few skype addons/alternatives that allow for push to talk, but from what I've found, they are sort of outdated.

So MMO-Champion community, what do you recommend? Is there any VoIP program out there that is push to talk that wouldn't require us to set up our own server? Worst comes to worst we will just use skype, but I really want to look through all the alternatives.

INB4 "Google it." I'm looking for the opinions of people who actually play wow and are satisfied with the programs they use. Much better than googling and installing random shit that in the end isn't going to work.

This might not help you, but you could get a family/friend that keeps their pc on all the time to set up a vent server for you.

Yeah, I was probably thinking about getting my bro that's back at home to do it for me. He keeps his shit on 24/7.
