Hello chaps,

If you have a gmail account and are signed into gchat you can now get free phone calls to the US mobiles and landlines from it.

We just tried it today and it works really well Sign up for a gmail account and then click the "Call" button above your gmail chat contacts and just type in the number.
If you have a macbook you can use your internal speaker, otherwise you'll need a headset (I've actually been using my gaming headset)  or usb phone which you can get for about a fiver

Hope it helps!

I love it! I have been doing this forever with google voice.

If you are on the phone alot this phone works great http://dualphone.net/DUALphone_3058-1112.aspx.

I pay yearly for my skype number and everything routes to my skype number including google voice number.

I am happy to see you can call right from gmail now!  thanks CB
