Whether a phone is a land line, desktop virtual phone or cell phone, every person wants to be able to make free calls within the U.S. and Canada. Phone service providers are against it, but everybody else likes the idea. Google users can make and receive calls for free when it comes to Google Voice being connected to Gmail. Anywhere you can access Gmail, you can make a free call.
Google Voice makes your contacts in Gmail an active phone service
You may not have a phone on you, or you may be in a place with poor cellular reception or exorbitant roaming fees, but for those who have an Internet connection and can access your Gmail account, you are able to make a free call with Google Voice. Two cents per minute is the rate if the call is outside the U.S. or Canada. TechCrunch reports that all it takes is the Google Talk plug-in for your browser. Your Gmail inbox will save voicemails and your Gmail interface allows you to make and receive calls. If you need to keep talking but are leaving, additionally you have the option of transferring a call from Google Voice to your cell phone.
There could be Google Voice in Gmail in the near future
Google is rolling out the new Google Voice features over the next few days to U.S.-based Gmail accounts, according to the official Google Voice Blog. The Google Chat list will pop up a “call phone” when it is accessible. Google users who are using Google Apps for academic or business purposes will also be able to enjoy the new Google Voice features and free calling, but integration will take slightly longer in that case.
