skype question

Just got my first android phone, loving it!

I have a question about skype. Since I'm keeping my phone off the networks, is there any way to use skype mobile? It tells me it can't find my number (I don't have one) and closes immediately. Can I just get a skype number, like on the desktop client? Is this how the carriers prevent free calling? Is there a workaround or alternative?

Thanks!
