Now Call Any Indian Phone From Gmail: Voice Calls Rates
Gmail has just rolled out a very useful and much desired feature – calling people directly over their mobile or land phones from your Gmail account.
Until now, Gmail has supported voice calling but that involved two users to be in front of their computers and use the internet for voice calling. But now you can call anyone in the world directly from your Gmail account, as long as you know the person’s phone number. Calls made from US and Canada will be completely free while calls to other countries will cost a very cheap rate.
I live in India and here the standard call rates for calling mobiles vary anywhere between 25 paise to 1 rupee. The Gmail voice calls rates in India is very low – $0.06 per minute which equals only two rupee per phone call.
How to Call a Phone From Gmail?
To call any number, first install the voice and video chat plug in and then log in to your Gmail account. Click “Call Phone” at the top of your Chat list as shown below:
Next, dial the phone number or type the contact name. Typing the name will only work when the person is in your contact list and you have added a phone number against that contact. You are done!
Google Apps users won’t see the call from Gmail option soon because Google has rolled out this feature for standard Gmail accounts only. If you have a Google Voice account and want to receive phone calls in Gmail, make sure you read these instructions
Gmail Voice Call Rates
Gmail has listed the call rates for all countries in this page, following is a quick comparion of call rates for India, United States, Canada, UK and France:
The standard call rate for Indian users is 6 ¢/min excluding connection charges. I think this is a very useful feature, you call call any phone number from the internet if you are at a place with bad reception or the mobile tower is out of range.
Who said Indian's are Beggars They are Not: Swiss Bank Report
Latest update after Swiss Bank has agreed to disclose the funds& Our Indians' Money - 70, 00,000 Crores Rupees In Swiss Bank
1) Yes, 70 lakhs crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money.
2) Swiss Government has officially written to Indian Government that they are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them.
3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on Swiss Government's official letter to Indian Government.
4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official enquiry to Switzerland for details of money which has been sent outside India between 1947 to 2008.. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian's money.
5) This money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country's foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Center s yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families.
6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh Crores, then how much money is lying in other 69 Banks? How much they have deprived the Indian people? Just think, if the Account holder dies, the bank becomes the owner of the funds in his accoun
7) Are these people totally ignorant about the philosophy of Karma? What will this ill-gotten wealth do to them and their families when they own/use such money, generated out of corruption and exploitation?
8) Indian people have read and have known about these facts. But the helpless people have neither time nor inclination to do anything in the matter. This is like "a new freedom struggle" and we will have to fight this.
9) This money is the result of our sweat and blood.. The wealth generated and earned after putting in lots of mental and physical efforts by Indian people must be brought back to our country.
10) As a service to our motherland and your contribution to this struggle,please circulate at least 10 copies of this note amongst your friends and relatives and convert it into a mass movement.
