Google International Voice Calls at low rates

Gmail voice and video chat have been around for years, but it was a year ago that Google uses from Gmail for mobile and fixed with possible Google Voice.

Calls to the U.S. and Canada were made free calls and international came with a very reasonable rate. Today, however, Google announced it would open international calls to 38 new languages.

Users can now buy call credit in euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars. There is no connection fee, then you are literally paying only for the time you speak.

Google has also lowered the price of its calling rates to over 150 countries worldwide. Now you can call mobile phones in the UK, France or Germany for just 10 cents a minute.

It is even less if you just call a landline to 2 cents per minute. Calls to mobile phones in Mexico will cost you five cents per minute and a phone number in China and India costs only 2 cents a call.

The price is not so different from Skype rates in some cases. For example, a call to a phone in Japan is 2 cents per minute and 2.6 cents per minute using Skype. However, a call to a mobile phone in Japan is 6.5 cents less per minute on Google.

Google says it is the function deployment over the coming days. If available in your country, you will see the phone icon little green at the top of your chat list.
