When we launched calling in Gmail back in August, we wanted it to be easy and affordable, so we made calls to the U.S. and Canada free for the rest of 2010. In the spirit of holiday giving and to help people keep in touch in the new year, we’re extending free calling for all of 2011.
In case you haven’t tried it yet, dialing a phone number works just like a regular phone. Look for “Call phone” at the top of your Gmail chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name.
To learn more, visit gmail.com/call. Calling in Gmail is currently only available to U.S. based Gmail users.
Happy New Year and happy calling!

A Google account offers text, voice, and video communication. It also offers free PC-to-phone calling within North America. However Google recently announced plans to end their support for the standard IM protocol (XMPP) in favor of an undisclosed proprietary protocol. Users have reported that Google Accounts work less reliably than they did in the past�particularly voice and video.

1. From the main menu choose File > Add new account…
2. In the Add new account dialog, Network drop down menu choose “Google Talk”.

Troubleshooting

Two-Step Verification (Two-Factor Authentication)

Google Talkback

If you previously set up Two-Step Verification for your Google account, and try to log in with your regular password you may see a message like the one below. To log in from Jitsi, you need to generate an “application-specific password”. For instructions see Sign in using application-specific passwords.

PC-to-phone calling

Google offers PC-to-phone calling within North America. For US residents Google Voice also offers many more services such as voicemail, free text messaging, call history, conference calling, call screening, blocking of unwanted calls, and voice transcription to text of voicemail messages.

Google Talk Account

However, voice calls are connected to Google’s email service Gmail. You may need to specifically enable the feature from within Gmail.
