You actually just need an internet connection. Whether that internet connection is via Wi-Fi, dialup, broadband, or whatever, you still require the internet.
If you're calling from computer to computer, YES, it IS free. Yahoo messenger has something similar, AIM, etc. There are also SIP software that basically allows computer to computer free. Skype uses a proprietary protocol and is a easier to configure/use than most others.

As I mentioned, from computer to computer IS free. Another cheap is to buy a skype-in number in the foreign country. People in that country would get charged for making a call to a local number (your skype-in number). When they make the call, it will ring on your computer when you have Skype running. Or you can buy a skype enabled phone.
