You are using a computer kind of device now. You could install Skype and talk for free using what you are using now.

Since a smartphone is a computer, you can use Skype on that too.

There are many alternatives to Skype.

What matters is how are you connecting your smartphone to your network. If you are in your house and using Skype it's free. If you take your phone "on the road" it is not free.
