Google announced yesterday that users in 25 countries will now be able to get one minute free on every international call they make through the Hangouts.
Google's Hangouts app for desktop and mobile has previously allowed instant messaging, video chat, and calls to phone numbers (with free calls to the US and Canada) using an internet connection. The one-minute free trial will let you say a quick hello or send an important message without charge.
However, you will need to have billing information on your Google account (the company probably wants you to add your credit card) to be eligible for free international calls per minute. By adding your credit card, the company ensures that you will be charged if you exceed your free call duration.
So calls to the following countries will be free for the first minute
