Google extends free Gmail domestic calls, again

article published on 26 December, 2012

I really like using Google voice. I am glad they are deciding to keep it free.

I think I would pay a small yearly or monthly fee. Actually there are a couple of quirky things that happen with Google voice that will either cause the person on the other and to not be able to hear me or my call will suddenly be dropped. They don't happen often but they do happen enough to be annoying and a problem.

If I had to pay for it I would probably look for something similar that did not have the problems I mentioned above. Granted nothing is perfect.

They do currently offer the ability to make outgoing as well as receive incoming calls. Here is what you need to do in order to receive incoming calls.

Download the Google talk application ( this is necessary for general Googlevoice use anyway)

Have your Gmail email account open. I believe it has to be open in a flash compatible browser. I use Internet Explorer 32-bit

Open Google.com/voice

Once you have these two windows open you are ready to receive calls. The little window indicating an incoming call pops up in the bottom of the Gmail window just like it does when you call yourself from Google voice to complete an outgoing call.
