It connects like a laptop, so you'll need to either connect to an open network, or know the required authentication information.

Not an iphone, but perhaps there are alternative ways similar to skype? Not sure, don't own one myself.

1) As Lou said, you either need an open network or to know the network key.
2) Not exactly...but you can buy a separate microphone and there are some VOIP applications that might let you do similar things to a phone.
3) The applications are from the App Store. Some of them are free, but not all of them.
