Call your friend on his phone with Gmail

Google has rolled out another fantastic feature for Gmail, the ability to voice and video chat, but not from Gmail to Gmail, from Gmail to any telephone – Yip, your friend doesn’t need to be at his/her computer anymore!

Take a watch:

Here’s a quick screenshot:

Google are currently rolling it out to all US based Gmail users, so us Saffers are going to have to wait a while unfortunately, but it looks like it will be worth the wait. In the mean time, why no install the plugin, so you’re setup and ready.

  1. I wish this worked.

    I can call my cell phone from google chat, but I can’t purchase more airtime from google.

    So I’m stuck with 10c balance.

    If they would allow me to purchase more airtime, I could start using this application right away.

    Totally, I’m sure it’s going to be rolled out here once testing has been done in the US..

Got something to say? Go for it!
