    Both of you don't need to be on Skype, if you open an account with Skype that will allow you to call him on a landline or mobile in the US, the call will be routed by Skype over the net to their local node in the US, then they will break it out to the local phone network or if it's to a mobile they probably have direct links to all the major cell networks, you'll effectively pay not much more than the cost of a local call in the US.

    You can buy credit with Skype or pay a subscription, all the options are explained on their website.

    The Whistle Phone app will let you call mobile or landline numbers in the US for free. I'm not sure if it works over 3g though. It's free to download.
