Are the outgoing international Talkatone calls pretty affordable?
For the iOS Hangouts calls, calling international #s work too right? It just uses whatever GV credit you have in your balance.
Yeah, I don't think GrooveIP will show your GV number on the outbound.
International should work and does cost GV credit. Google's rates are pretty decent (about 10% cheaper than Vonage, I have tried several VoIP options in the past few weeks gearing up for an international trip). I am not sure if Talkatone is actually able to dial internationally. I just use the web interface (ui=desktop when on my phone) of Google Voice to call and tell it to ring my Talkatone number, so the call is free, just paying for international portion of it.
