Google Talk offers two options: a plug-in that lets you talk via voice with contacts on the Web and a software program that lets you talk from your desktop. The desktop program lets you chat with your online contacts. The plug-in, on the other hand, gives you the ability to actually call phones from your computer — and these phone numbers do not need to belong to your Google contacts. Instead, you can manually enter a U.S. number and call it from your Google account.
Difficulty:Moderately Easy1
Install the Google Talk voice and video chat plug-in from Google.com/talk if you have not already done so.
2
Visit either Gmail, Orkut or iGoogle and sign in to your account.
3
Click “Call phone” within the “Chat” section of the page. This brings up a small number pad.
4
Click the flag just above the number pad and then select the United States as the country you are calling.
5
Dial the number, including the area code, using the number pad. Press “Call” to place your call.
To make an international call, you use the current Google Voice calling rates. Just add credit and dial the number. You can select the applicable country code by clicking the the flag drop-down or by typing it directly into the window.
