So eventually Google will start charging a recurring fee of probably at least that amount. More likely, I'd guess that they'll start charging around $19.95/year for unlimited domestic long distance (and inbound calls) like Magic Jack, except that they'll have cooler features than Magic Jack, like voice-to-text and easily assigning the phone to ring at multiple, easily configurable locations. Google's service may well be worth the price that they'll eventually charge, so I wish they'd quickly figure it their pricing and announce it.
