Calling from Gmail: Now available in 38 languages
Wednesday, August 3, 2011
The ‘Call phone’ feature in Gmail is now available in 38 languages. This was previously only available to users in the U.S.
You can now buy calling credit in your choice of four currencies (Euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars). To help reduce the cost of staying connected, we’re also lowering our calling rates to over 150 destinations around the world. For example, it’s now only $0.10 (or €0.08) per minute to call mobile phones in the U.K., France or Germany (landlines are $0.02/min), $0.15/minute to call mobile phones in Mexico and $0.02/min to call any phone number in China and India. The complete list is available on our rates page.
Release track:
Rapid*
Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education
How to access what's new:
- Google Apps administrators must have the Google Voice and Google Checkout services enabled in the administrator control panel in order to be able to use this feature.
- Google Apps users need to have the voice and video plugin installed.
- Users will then see the ‘Call phone’ option in Gmail chat. This feature is rolling out gradually over the next few days.
