No. How much the caller pays depends on how you’re routing Jabber calls. If they’re IP-IP then it’s probably free aside from the cost of Internet access. If it’s IP-PSTN then you’ll be paying long distance or international rates.

XMPP is based on the Jabber protocol that evolves since 1998. Basically programming Jabber software today means programming XMPP compliant software. XMPP is the new name, Jabber the old.

XMPP is not dead. Unfortunately Pidgin and Adium were two of the most popular clients for XMPP, and their development (in Adium’s case) and XMPP development (in Pidgin’s case) has almost completely stalled, which is unfortunate. Alternative XMPP projects are still very actively developed.
