Skype? Help?

So, I downloaded the skype app before I left the U.S., and actually used it successfully back home. But I'm in Europe now, and tried to call my boyfriend, and kept getting 'this is not a valid number', or that I needed to buy skype credit. I tried dialing with the international code, with no luck. I'm using wireless here, and when I try to but skype credit, I can't even log onto the website, because I haven't created an account yet.
Anyone on this tribe have experience with using skype on an iPhone to call internationally? Any help would be much appreciated.

    You shouldn't have to use any international dialing codes to dial US phone numbers, regardless of where you are. Skype doesn't know if you're inside the country or not (effectively, not truly). However you called your boyfriend using Skype before, do it that same way again and it should work.

    Oh, and if you're dialing Skype-to-Skype, that is always free. If you're trying to call his telephone via Skype, that costs something, whether in the US or abroad. I recommend using Skype-to-Skype.
