VoIP

Is there at least one of these apps that will let you call anyone? Landlines? Other carriers? Someone who does not have the same app installed?

GrooveIP works great on my Optimus-V. You need a Google Voice#, but no one else needs anything. Makes and receives calls over Wifi or 3G. "They" need to call your GV#.

Is this hard to set up?

Edit: Since I have been recommending it to others for a while, I just caved and purchased it for myself. I'll let you know how it works.

Takes about 5 minutes to set up. No having to go out and get SIP accounts or anything. Just a GV#, if you have that already it's a no brainer.

Super easy setup. Tested on my home WiFi with an outgoing call. There was a very slight lag comparable to a normal phone call. Using a 3G connection with almost no signal, the latency became noticeable and audio quality was low but understandable. I didn't expect the call go through on this test. I'd recommend it.

I already have GV# and you can call anyone?

Yep. You still have to pay Google for international calls, but you can make them from your phone cheaply.
