It depends on what technology is available to you.

Skype is free and if you've got a 3G phone it should work ok.

I had to read this three times to realise that your weren't saying that
using Skype on his 3G phone would be free.

If he has a GSM phone it will work, but it's likely to cost a dollar per
minute in roaming charges.
