WHILE Skype started off on the PC, you can now use the program on several devices, like specially-designed cordless phones, Sony's handheld video game system, the PSP, and even some mobile phones.
ON YOUR PC
Download and install the Skype software from www.skype.com/download . Launch Skype and sign-up for a new account (free).
Go to www.skype.com/all-features/subscriptions to sign up for Skype Unlimited. Key in the phone number plus the area code.
So, if you are calling Kuala Lumpur, enter +603 then the phone number.
ON YOUR CORDLESS PHONE
You need a Skype-enabled cordless phone like the Philips 841 or Netgear SPH200D, which sell for $299.
Plug your phone line and the LAN cable from your modem into the base station. You can then use the handset for normal phone and Skype calls.

ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE
Using your phone's Internet browser, go to http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windowsmobile/download.html to get the mobile version of Skype. Note, however, that you need to use an earpiece for Skype calls.
