No, it's not a "phone" in the sense that you are thinking --- it's not a cell phone and doesn't work with cell phone signals. However, if you near a viable wifi signal, you can use the built-in skype program to call other skype phones; or you can pay some money to call normal phones. Details here: http://www.skype.com

C'mon guys, go easy on him. He's just a noob!
