Which VOIP for me?

What I have: a USB headset with microphone.

What I want/need: I’d like to be able to use my headset, plugged into my laptop, and use skype to connect to a landline for work toll-free calls from the US to a US toll-free #. I got a new VZ MI-FI card last week, and it seems to give me pretty good, fast service when I’m in a 4G LTE service area.

I was thinking to try skype. I’d like to use it when I’m in an airport (usually Admirals club or other lounge), or in a hotel where it hurts to hold the phone on my shoulder for hours, and it’s hard to type & talk & concentrate while holding it on my shoulder. Since these calls are for work, the call quality is extremely important to me.

I know lots of folks use skype to talk with folks that would otherwise have to pay LD, or to talk with someone who’s on skype or has no landline, but my purpose would be skype from the US (probably a VZ 4G area) to a toll-free US # while using my headset.
