Google Now Offering First Minute Free Calling to 25 Countries For the Rest of the Year
Usually when one makes a call to a country abroad via Google Hangouts there’s a payment involved, but Google wants to make that cheaper for the rest of 2014. So, for example if you want to talk for a person very fast and the person is in another country, you’re in luck.
Google will be offering a free first minute of calling to 25 countries for the rest of the year. After the first minute you will be charged the usual fee, obviously. You can call as many different times as you like, so there’s no problem with calling 20 first minutes for a total of 20 minutes for example. Once again, this only works for 25 countries and they’re listed below:
Australia
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
China
Dominican Republic
France
Germany
India
Indonesia
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Mexico
Netherlands
Norway
Peru
Poland
Russia
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States
You will have to add Google calling credit to your account before being eligible for free calling, so then Google can charge in case you get past the first minute by mistake. Google may also reserve the right to stop your free calling, if they feel you’re abusing it, so don’t go making 100 one minute calls a day.
