Google says that all calls to Belgium and Turkey will be free through hangouts via the desktop page or respective platform’s (iOS or Android) hangouts app. Calls to landlines in either Turkey or Belgium will be free and all calls to Belgium’s major wireless carrier subscribers: Lycamobile, Mobistar, Proximus, and Telenet will be free as well.

Google has also been pushing out Google Now cards with transit information and direct links to the Government Crisis Centre for locals as well as posted the same information for related Google searches.

Thanks, for looking out Google!
