Call Free With Gmail

Call phones from Gmail - Official Gmail Blog
Gmail voice and video chat makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family using your computer’s microphone and speakers. But until now, this required both people to be at their computers, signed into Gmail at the same time. Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?”

Comments: Google has added free VOIP right from Gmail if you have a Google Voice number (and why don't you?). You will need Google Video Chat installed on you computer. The "Call Phone" entry will appear under your "Chat" section in Gmail. They are dishing it out so it took me a day after launch for it to appear. I have only made one call so far but it sounded great. What part of free is a bad thing?
