This is essentially correct.

There are lots of skype enabled phones, but they can only work if you have 
skype running on the PC and interact with it either wirelessly or via USB.

So, Jim, if I understand this right, one of the parties has to be on a 
computer or PDA, right?  You can't use Skype to call from phone to phone 
without a computer or PDA.

.Skype is great, and not hard to use.
.You can purchase unlimited calling in the US for one year, for $30 for
.the entire year.
.
.Overseas calls are just pennies a minute, often just one or two cents a
.minute, depending on the country..=20
.You must first download the client from www.skype.com  Then, go to the
.web site and establish an account.  You can also establish a user name
.and account from within the program.  You must then purchase Skype Out
.credits.  Calls from PC to Pc are of course free, but calls from your PC
.to a phone are charged at very very low rates.
.So, after you purchase a block of Skype Out credits, you are then able
.to make calls in the US or of course overseas as well.  The program
.works well with Jaws and Window-Eyes.
