I've never been able to get the GV app to initiate a call using data on my phone.
You use the Hangouts app (with Hangouts Dialer downloaded if you're on Android) and it makes the calls with data. You can also enable ringing for GV calls in the Hangouts app to receive calls over data.
If you're outside the US, the Hangouts method is the only way to go, since GV can't forward to non-US numbers.
