From what I hear, I'll likely need to use at least GV in conjunction with VPN.

I am borrowing my dad's Ipod Touch and have Hangouts loaded and have been testing the phone call functionality. It seems to work OK but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative. I also have GV forwarding to GrooveIP on my Nexus 7 but calling out on my Nexus 7 I haven't figured out how to have GrooveIP "mask" using the GV number (I don't think this is possible). I may bring both just to see what works best... I'm planning on renting a wifi hotspot (Wifi-Korea Everywhere Speed Pack) that supposed has constant connectivity and LTE speeds.

We'll see.... do you guys have any suggestions on free VPNs to use? I just installed TunnelBear on the Ipod Touch - it has a 500mb limit. I think I've tried a couple others but they usually have data limits.
Not specific to Taiwan/Korea, but I have not had a good experience with GrooveIP post Google Voice. Talkatone is working well for me on Android. Hangouts is working for calling on iOS (no such feature on Android version of Hangouts yet).

Ace vpn is 5 or 6 dollars a month, and no auto-renew. So I pay for it as I leave on trips. Not free, but pretty close
