As of today Google released their new service that allows people who have Gmail accounts to make phone calls from their inbox. At least for now phone calls within the US and Canada are free and International Calls are supposedly very cheap(although I have yet to use this feature). The quality of the phone call is pretty standard it seems; however, you need a working microphone in order to make calls, unless you don’t actually want to talk then maybe you don’t need one. It uses a Google voice number, and all in all seems like another great product by Google. But then again it is Google.
