i.e. i like to have my international phone on, but when a call comes in, i just hit ignore and skype them. costs me no money whatsoever, and i am tough with the wife just in case of emergency.
so......, does the new iphone software allow this?

Yes, you can turn the Data Roaming off so you wont rack up the international data roaming charges...then, when you find a wifi hotspot, you can still download all your email and surf for free.
Supposedly Truphone allows you to receive a call on a network and then switch the call to a wifi network in mid conversation, thus saving big bucks on international network roaming. If/when the full version of Skype hits the iPhone they will surely include this nifty feature too.
