Well, not the regular free skype. I was talking about Skypeout, the paid service to make calls to regular phones. But that too seems a difficult option since the only way to pay them is by credit card or paypal.
But I am sure there are many who would oblige with putting some money in your account? or paying on your behalf. It's not a whole lot. the favor can be easily returned with a couple of drinks at a good bar or something similar.
Please remember that 1 Skype account can be linked with a single paypal account. So you need someone who isnt planning to use skypeOut in the future.
Someone mentioned "boxes". You can subscribe to any of the voIP services such as Lingo or Vonage. Requires a monthly commitment ($14 onwards) but it's excellent. If your use justifies it, that is the way to go. Do not even need a computer after the initial settings.
