I don't think that's the way it works. You can definitely access the site via your smartphone, but if you press the "Call" link, it will first call you (on your cell if you wish) and then call the other party, then connect. So it would I think be counted as inbound airtime.

Apparently they opened up the Google Voice API to outside developers. There's already a PC dialer available for Google Voice: [Proggy] Google Voice dialer - dslreports.com

It's quite likely we'll soon see WM, S60 and iPhone dialers.

In my non-tech way - I was thinking if this was all done via data stream rather than voice GSM channel, it might be cheaper.
What you say makes sense.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.

My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
