I use an app called Truphone that works better than Skype on an iphone IMHO. I'm in the final stages of a worldwide trip that's taken me to Switzerland, Turkey, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Germany and the cost to call home is $0.02 regardless of point of origin. Low costs available to just about all countries as well, again regardless of your location. This app requires a Wifi signal but that has been available free everywhere I've been. As long as signal strength is solid, call quality has been better than cell and Skype.
