I use Google Voice all the time and I have use Google chat. When you make a call with Google Chat you can actually see the credit you have in Google Voice. I actually made a phone call from the Phillipines to San Diego using Google Chat and it was free. I do not know how. I do know that phone calls with Google Voice within the US are free and the calls to other countries are less expensive than Skype ( I also have Skype). Skype has a rate but then they add extra fees, which Google Voice does not.
