Gmail gets Voice with online phone calls
Google on Wednesday began adding Internet telephone capabilities to its free Web-based email service in the United States.
Gmail was infused with Voice, a Google telecommunications service that lets people use a single telephone number for all of their phones.
"Starting today, you can use Gmail to receive or place Google Voice calls," software engineer Nick Foster said in a blog post.
"We're rolling out this feature to US-based Gmail users over the next few days."
A "call phones" option in Gmail chat will enable people to make, screen or field Voice calls at their computers using Gmail, according to Foster.
