And a little voice comes on and tells you BEFORE the call starts, how much it will cost per minute.
Whether Hangouts Dialer calls are 1c/minute to the US or free depends on your account; I don't know WHY it varies, but having more than one Google account, some of mine are free and at least one isn't.
Skype also has a cheap call-US-numbers from online service, and there are a couple others, and modestly better voice quality on slow links.
