Even my home phone (Fios) allows for unlimited long distance...I don't get the draw now unless you are a person that has tons of friends/family that use Skype...
(I do see how 2.1 cents per minute would be good for International Calls, but I don't make those calls)...

FWIW, Skype "functions" on both AT&T and T-Mobile's networks...though it suffers from QoS issues on Edge speeds.
I use Skype Out (let's you use your existing cell phone's number as callerID) $3/mo unlimited US/Canada plan. You may never use $3 worth in a month, but its a really cheap way to increase your "minutes" to "unlimited".
There is a "sale" on annual plans, for "Skype online" number, which allows you "inbound" calls from the PSTN, but you're assigned a unique number. It would equate to another $2-$3/mo. in addition to the "Skype Out" costs. But for $5-$6/mo. total, its a viable solution if you have the smallest minutes plan, and looking to move to "unlimited".
