We’re still cruelly starved of this feature over here in Blighty, but Google is reporting that their new integrated Gmail calling feature has proved an almighty hit in the US.
The new service lets users make VoIP calls from within their web browser to numbers in the U.S. and Canada for absolutely nothing (with calls to other countries around the world charged at affordable rates).
It seems that Americans can’t get enough of the freebie service, with a tweet from Google announcing that the service has notched up an incredible 1,000,000 phone calls placed in just under 24-hours.
We’re loving the sound of this new feature. So, can we have it now please, Google?
I thought this was available to everyone, but it was only US and Canada that could be called for free? I’ve proberbly mis-understood that, though……
I’d happily pay 2 cents a minute ( about 1 and a third pence) to call UK landlines.
