I think you might have misread the article:
"Still, it's the first offer of a free number. To get a number that can be called on Skype costs about $4 a month."
The $4/month is a comparison (free AOL tel # vs $4/mo Skype tel #). AFAIK there's no $4 Skype-compatible product. I'm fairly certain that AOL's using SIP, given that their previous VoIP effort used Level 3 as infrastructure.
