Outside my iPad, or was it inside?
FaceTime works only over wifi.

I am probably misunderstanding your question, because I just open FaceTime, go to Contacts and press on the email address I want to call.

And FaceTime is free. It comes preinstalled with the iPad 2.

while your first statement is correct it's not entirely true. If a device is jailbroken there is a tweak in cydia called my3g & facebreak that tricks wifi into believing the 3G connection is on wifi

Want me to send them all to you?

True and FaceTime will even work on iPad 1, but without camera.

However, I was in a presumptuous mood and assumed that OP's question was for the iPad 2, which is and will still be for a while without jb.

Just remember to enable FaceTime in the settings of your device. It is free but can only be used over a wifi network.

Skype works well over both wifi and 3G. But remember it does use quota from your data plan.

Viber is good also for calls.
