How to call a cell phone or house phone for free in the USA from your computer.
Make Free Phone Calls from Gmail
Gmail added a long-awaited feature: making phone calls. If you install the voice and video chat plug-in, you
can call phones in the US and Canada for free. You can also call in other
countries, but you’ll have to pay. Fortunately, Google’s rates are really low and the
service is cheaper than Skype.
“Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free
for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at
our very low rates. We 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,” informs Google.
If
you have a Google Voice phone number (anyone in the US can get one), you can
also receive
phone calls in Gmail. Now that Google Voice integrates with Gmail, a lot
more people will use it.
