Google has released a new feature enabling users to make calls to landlines and mobiles. It is called Google voice and it lets people with a Gmail account to call phones for very low rates. it costs nothing to set up and gives you 10¢ US call credit to start. For 2010 only, people can call US and Canadian phones for free, even if they are in another country. The call rates are extremely low, much better than leading telecom services. Skype already has this feature, but doesn't have the low rates which makes Google a rival for Skype. The google voice feature requires the plugin which it gives you a link to download. At the moment you can only make outgoing calls, you can get an online number, but only in the US, they are bringing out full features for other countries later in the year. Google already has Google talk which is basically Skype in a web browser, it supports video as well.
Google Voice requires the Google Voice and Video plug-in.
