Google Brings Google Voice to Gmail: Make and Receive Calls Right from Your Inbox

August 25th, 2010 | google

Google officially announced this feature,to let you make telephone calls from your gmail inbox. If you are a Gmail user in the U.S., you can now make free Web-based phone calls to any phone in the U.S. and Canada right from the Gmail interface. You can also make International calls for fees starting at $0.02 per minute.

To use this new feature, you will have to install the Google Talk plugin, which is available here for Windows, Mac and Linux. Google plans to roll this functionality out over the next few days, so it might be a bit before you see it in your Gmail account. Google Apps accounts won’t have access to this feature yet.

Well, this is a wonderful news to Americans, if Google can provide quality in the voice transmission… Users needn’t install or use skype to make phone calls..

Waiting for this feature to be enabled in India
