I think I just stirred up a can of worms

Say, I am using Skype on my N810, which I subscribed to $7.99/month 'unlimited' US/Canada. My N810/skype can call computer/cell/landline unlimited whenever I am online/with wifi. However, on the receiving end, if it is a cellphone that my N810 is calling, the cell will be charged as talkminutes, i.e., burning minutes. The difference is within a family plan, like alltel calling alltel, it is unlimited, i.e., does not burn minutes. But when answering skype call using an alltel phone, the answering cell will burn minutes.

If you did not buy any skypeout/call out, I have no idea how you call a cell/landline. Are you sure you are using skype or you are using your cell? The user-interface should be different when using skype vs cell, would it?
