Yes. I did this from Hawaii and it worked like a charm. I paid $2 a month for unlimited calling to any landline in north america (so you aren't just limited to calling a computer). Just make sure you do it on a wifi connection! I wouldn't want to know what would happen to your data bill when you got back.

The tip somebody here gave me when I went away: Put your phone into airplane mode and then activate wifi. Airplane mode by default will turn everything off, but you can reactivate wifi and it will stay in airplane mode so you can't even accidentally connect to a cell network.
