I prefer e-mail for any technical issues. I can lay out my questions/answers in a structured way. Also, I don't feel e-mail is an interruption - I can get to it when I want, and it won't break the flow of my work.
To solve any problems in real time, we use Skype messaging, or if necessary a Skype video call with voice + screen captures.
Once or twice a week, there will be a face-to-face Skype video call, more for morale and socializing rather than for work. This is the exception rather than the rule.
Phone calls and SMS are out. I don't even keep a phone close to my place of work.
