Putting the "special" number that the GV dialer calls into your friends and family list will make outgoing GV calls airtime free because it's calling a friends and family number.

To get free incoming calls using GV, you have to change your GV settings (on a computer) so that the caller id of incoming calls is always your GV number (as opposed to having it display the number of the person who is calling you). You then add your GV number to your friends and family list so now all your outgoing and incoming calls using GV are airtime free.

You can still know the identity of the person calling you if you have call presentation enabled in GV (asks the caller for his or her name the first time then remembers it later or a computer voice reads the name if it's in your contacts).
