Just want to comment for the nonSkype users: Skype to skype is free. Period. Skype to landline/cellphone etc are not free. You need to buy some subscription, like dial out credit or monthly credit $7.99/month, no contract, start and stop anytime you want to. There is a caveate though, for skype calling cellphone. Your skype on monthly subscription has practically unlimited minute, but you still burning cellphone minute on the cellphone you are calling to.
This is quite different for those cellphone that has family plan, that there is no limits when cellphone calling within family.

It might be worth checking out a decent SIP provider, call quality/reliability can be better than skype. You get a 'local' number for people to call you, and it can work out cheaper depending on the country your calling. I use sipgate

I do not think that will use your cell minutes ... Even over 3G it will use your data bandwidth not cell minutes. Correct me if I am wrong.
Otherwise I would be better serverd using my N810 to do Skype or gizmo or GV.

Three.co.uk in the UK do free skype to skype calls over the 3G network so that is very cheap (costs nothing!) if you are calling others on skype.
