Are there charges involved for using Web Cams or Voice Communications (i.e Microphones ) between users

Depends how you do it, but the usual method of using an instant messenger costs nothing more than your normal connection costs.

There are quite a few computer-to-computer phone programs available that are free, too, and with Skype, even calls to regular phones are free in some cases.

Thanx..My son installed a web cam on my computer while visiting us, we he returned home we started using the Web Cam (using MSN Messenger) and a Mike, so I guess by your answer there isn't any additional cost

Well, as "free" as anything can be in this world, I guess. At least it's "no additional cost". You pay for it somehow, believe me. Chances are you already paid for it by buying Windows and paying for a connection, so you may as well use what you already bought.
