It's not cheating because Skype charges you for usage, regardless of what device you use it on. (and many device--to-device are still free).
You can read the app info on your smartphone before you download it.
Skype uses WiFi, so your smartphone will need to be connected to a wifi hotspot (your own or someone else's) to work. When you're not near a hotspot you will have to use your smartphone's regular cell plan to make calls.
I have the regular Skype on my computer, and the Skype app on my iPod (which is just an iPhone without cell phone service) and it works great.
