[dba-Tech] VoIP with a smartphone?

I think some of the newer smartphones are coming out with Skype integrated
on them, and as long as you've got a wireless signal (wi-fi rather than GPRS
as that's usually charged by the carrier) you should be able to use skype
for free. At least that's how I've understood the situation. We don't
support it on the PDAs at work yet, but someone's bound to ask soon...

An article in PC Today says the following:

"VoIP ... services, such as Skype ... are making it easier for business
professionals to make phone calls over the Internet and avoid paying steep
fees for international calls."

Okay, does this mean I can use a smart phone to use VoIP? It certainly
sounds like it. How do I do that? What about your basic cell phone?

I haven't tried Skype. We have a magicjack at home though, which certainly
isn't wireless -- would like to learn more about this.
