Does it cost money to call on text free phone?

A toll-free number is essentially an automated collect (reverse charges) call. When you dial a toll-free number, your local telephone company switch looks up the number in a database to find out how to route the call and then hands the call off to the long distance company chosen by the owner of the toll-free number. The owner of the number pays for the long distance charges, and also pays a surcharge to compensate the owner of the pay phone if you are calling from one. However, if you are calling a toll-free number from a mobile phone (cell phone), you will in most cases still use your airtime minutes.

How do you get free Skype credit?

Skype used to give promotional credits some years ago, back when it wasn't so popular as it is now.

I'm afraid you can't get any free Skype credits anymore. But you can buy them with your credit card or Paysafecard, in case you don't own one. It's even better because it doesn't have any hidden fees.

Just go the the Skype homepage and learn about their rates. I always use Skype for calling abroad, it's much cheaper then using a landline or your cellular phone.
