Google allow phone calls from Gmail

Gmail user from now will be able to make call to telephone from their gmail account. Google has begun testing a Gmail-integrated VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) client that would allow users to make phone calls directly from the browser.


Google promised free calls to US and Canadian phones from Gmail for the rest of this year and said it would charge low rates for calls made to other countries.


Google worked hard to make these rates really cheap with calls to the U.K., France, Germany, China, Japan–and many more countries–for as little as $0.02 per minute.

It said making a call works like a normal phone in that a user could click on the “call phone” option in their chat buddy list and type the number or enter a contacts name.

For those users seeing the test of the new product, the ability to make phone calls is added directly to the Google Talk popup that appears in the lower right corner of the Gmail screen, offering a keypad, a call history, and a credit balance.Google will offer free calls within the U.S. and Canada, with cheap international calling, in 2010.

It will be really amazing facility for the internet users and from now gmail user can call to countries in a cheap rate.
