The Skype app for Apple's iOS adds a second line to an iPhone or turns an iPad or iPod touch into a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phone. It is a free download from the App Store.
Computer-to-computer calls are free; Skype Credit or a monthly subscription plan must be purchased to make calls to landlines and cell phones. Skype Credit is used for calling and extras including text messaging and voicemail. Subscription plans start at $2.95/month for unlimited calling to the U.S. and Canada." More...
This is an excellent app. I use it on my iPod Touch, second generation. It turns that device, used with Apple's proprietary headset, into a portable wifi telephone. I use it, along with my Macbook, as my home telephone. For $2.95 per month you cannot go wrong using this device, wherever there is a an available, wifi connection. The one caveat is that the app has to be open to receive calls. That is not a problem for me because I almost always have my MacBook turned on at home. I receive calls on my MacBook's Skype application.
