I use Google Voice all the time and I have use Google chat. When you make a
call with
Google Chat you can actually see the credit you have in Google Voice. I
actually made a
phone call from the Phillipines to San Diego using Google Chat and it was
free. I do not
know how.
It doesn't matter where you are -- GV calls originate from the US, and GV
calls to most US numbers are free.
I do know that phone calls with Google Voice within the US are
free and the
calls to other countries are less expensive than Skype ( I also have Skype).
Skype has
a rate but then they add extra fees, which Google Voice does not.

Except if you look at the "Terms of Service" tab on that page the
prices are for Google Voice. I am using Google Chat which is a different
product.
What are its costs?
