Service	Cost	How it works	Our take
iSkoot	Free	Brings the graphical interface and voice capabilities of Skype to select cell phones.	This easy-to-use service is great for Skype addicts.
Rebtel	$1 a week	Generates local numbers for your overseas contacts.	Requires plenty of dialing--and it's not free--but it can save you money if you make lots of overseas calls.
Vox for Skype	Free	Allows you to access your Skype account, by voice, from any cell phone.	Can be difficult to use, but it's a good choice for users with old cell phones.
