So as I logged on to gmail today, I noticed that you can now call people? (As in actual phone numbers, not the video/voice chat.) Has anybody tried this yet?

Google sure wants to take over the world...

EDIT: Tried calling my cell... it didn't work. However, I mysteriously got a voicemail (listened to it; it had nothing)...

They're just trying to draw attention to Google Voice/integrate Voice into gmail so more people will use it.

It works pretty well! Also Voice is pretty incredible and now that it's not in closed beta anymore people should sign up and give it a shot.

Yep, it's pretty cool. You can call people for free in your country for this year. Tested it on my cellphone and it works great.

Love google voice.. been using it about after a month since the first invitations went out.. I have just a standard phone and it works very well on it.. can call and text with my google number with out any extra steps, besides when I'm first entering a contact into the phone book.. I heard soon they are integrating custom phone #s that make it so you can assign a unique phone number to a person

Yeah, it's pretty awesome, I've been using it for about a week so far. Here's a video that describes the features:

Did you have your country selected in the phone window? When you do that it adds the correct extension. Strange if you did, it should work.

If you have access to free or cheap local phone service, Google Voice is kickass because it essentially gives you free long distance, incoming or outgoing.

In college, my dorm had free local phone service. I used one Goog Voice number for two phones - my dorm phone and a net10 prepaid cell phone. Total cost for both $15/mo, aquired ability to laugh at other students paying $60/mo for their cell plans.

I am soooooo OK with Google taking over the world. My friend and I joke that every product that comes out by google is free, better than the option that costs money, and dispenses free blowjobs.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.
