    I read it was free if u are in America and call the Uk. I got a bit muddled as i thought it said it wasnt free outside America and Canada. I didnt want trying to sabe money to end up costing more money. So thats great its free!Thanks.x

    Google Voice is not a VOIP service but similar to Flextel in the UK, i.e. a PSTN service. You get a phone number that you can forward to other multiple phone numbers.
