Related offer from Google Inc: In 2011, Google provided members of the military free calling, regardless of the country where the call originates. This functionality can be applied to the OBi device such that a regular telephone can be used instead of a computer (using the Gmail Call Phone feature).

If it does not, then calls originated outside the USA or Canada to USA and Canada numbers will cost 1 cent per minute.*
