Now make phone calls from Gmail

New York: Google is all set to allow its users to make phone calls from its e-mail service, Gmail. With the new facility, Gmail users will be able to make landline as well as mobile phone calls from their e-mail accounts.

The Internet giant's offering would take the competition directly to Skype, which is one of the most successful Internet telephone service providers with around 560 million registered users.

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 low rates . Users have to shell out as little as two cents a minute for calls to countries such as the U.K., Germany, China and Japan. Calls to India would be charged at six cents a minute. For using the facility, users have to click ‘Call phone' option in the chat list and then enter the contact number. — PTI
