Skype was never free to call peoples or businesses phones (cell or landline). Skype was only ever free to call OTHER Skype people to their Skype accounts. want to call a not Skype user, you pay.
I figured you knew this. it has always been this way. but it sounds like you thought Skype allowed you to call any not Skype number or anyone in USA freely - so now I see why you asked about WiFi as you assumed once they gave you the wifi ability you would get to call for free
PS - the desktop Skype app does allow you to cal 888 or 800 toll free numbers for free. Not sure if this app does.
