can you do that on your cell phone so you just use your unlimited data plan vs minutes?

Not yet--it requires a plug in for the browser, but I bet it is coming.
You can use http://www.whistlephone.com/ on the Mac or iPhone/iPad.Touch but you have to listen to a short ad.

Doesn't look like it is active for me yet either, but thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye out for it.

Pretty slick! They've even provided the plugin for Linux as well, even 64bit Linux. That is how you keep early adopters happy and preaching the Google Way...

WHO do people talk to?
I always wonder who the poor sap is on the other end of people at 5:30 am commute talking on their cell phones.

I think Skype will do it from your cell phone.
