Anywhere, as long as the location is within range of a secure or open wireless network. However, since the Wi-Fi phone for Skype does not have any web browsing capabilities, it will not be able to access Wi-Fi hotspots that require web-based login or authentication.

No. In fact, you can even use the IPEVO Wi-Fi phone for Skype to register for a free Skype account.
