Google Hangouts is receiving an update to bring voice calling to hangouts in addition to video calls. The calls are free to other hangouts users, U.S. numbers, and Canadian numbers.
You can also make international calls for a cheap rate.

To be clear, this isn't only for Android users. iOS and web hangout users can now make voice calls as well at the same rates. If you want to be able to have these new features, update your Hangouts app and download the Hangouts Dialer app below!

Good article, but this website is so horrible. A bunch of ads that eat up screen space plus a page where it’s page size keeps spassing out made the read a bit to annoying.
