Information Madness

But here comes another cool feature. Call your friends, family, relatives from within your gmail account.

Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail. 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 low rate

Dialing a phone number works just like a normal phone. Just click “Call phone” at the top of your chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name.

If you have a Google Voice phone number, calls made from Gmail will display this number as the outbound caller ID. And if you decide to, you can receive calls made to this number right inside Gmail.

Google is rolling out this feature for US based users in next few days.  So for now this feature is only available to US customers only.
