Make Call using Gmail

You can make a phone communication from Google Voice. You can make and receive calls on any of your existing phones. But now you will be able to make or receive calls from your computer using Gmail.

You can use Gmail to make or receive Google Voice calls. To get started you can check the box which is next to Google chat in the list of forwarding phones and when someone tries to call you on your Gmail Voice number. Gmail will notify the user of any incoming calls. Calling or even listening in when a caller leaves a message is all done in a single step from the computer.

If you want to make a call in Gmail, you can do it by clicking on the Call phone link and enter any name and number from the address book. While making calls from Gmail, the Google Voice phone number will be displayed as the outbound caller ID and your Google Voice calling credit will be used by international calls and the same low Google Voice rates will be charged. If you are not familiar with international rates, you can check out the comparison table.

This feature will be available to the US based Gmail users in the next few days, so you can expect “Call Phones” to show up in the chat list.
