Google are now making it as simple as they perceive it is possible to make a phone call to anyone in the world: from Gmail.
Whilst in Gmail, users in the US can now call people by clicking “Call Phone” in their contact list and either selecting the person’s name that they want to call (if their number is held by Google, of course) or by dialling the number into the on-screen keypad.
Want to call someone outside the US or Canada? That’s entirely possible, but you will end up paying a fairly cheap rate to do so, something that people may compare to Skype’s “Skypeout” rates, and US/Canada calls are free until the end of the year.
Non-US people will not be able to use the service until Google decides that it’s worthwhile for everyone. Like they have done for Google Voice… no, wait…
