Use an iPhone As a Skype Phone
The iPhone has the ability to be used as a Skype phone using the Skype application (app) for the iPhone. Skype is a service that allows users to make free video calls, phone calls, group calls and conference calls. Skype also offers voicemail and call forwarding services. All of the Skype features are added to an iPhone with the Skype application installed on it. Note that getting Skype is free unless you are making non-Skype-to-Skype phone calls, then you need Skype credits which, as of 2010, cost 1.9 cents per minute.
