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

Thanks! I'll have to give Talkatone another try. Are you paying for that in terms of calls out and also a number to receive incoming calls (from landline or mobile)?
I'll definitely have at least one Android device and may take the Ipod Touch for Hangouts as well...
I'll have to look into Ace VPN
