You're both wrong.
@R. Pettengill: Skype doesn't initiate a call locally on the network. It uses voice over ip to transfer sound to a server which then routes it into the correct phone network (over simplified).
@Anonymous:
More and more phones support wireless lan so using skype on the cell phone will in many situations be free (or cheap with skype out).
Not to mention that some (atleast my carrier) has a price cap on how much they charge per day, and it won't take many minutes to save whatever I use on the 3G connection if I call international.
