You can go to a Wi-Fi hotspot anywhere and use Skype for free (from your
device to another device or PC) or for a negligible cost by opening a Skype
account (2 cents? a minute back to the U.S. from your device to other,
non-PC mobile or landline phones). Steer clear of paying overseas roaming
fees to overpriced U.S. telecoms like Verizon.
