Want to know the best way to make free calls from your PC? Then there’s no better application than Google Voice. You can remember that I tackled this when I discussed the top 6 reasons to use it. But with the latest update released this May 2013, you can now harness the power of the app more than ever.
You can now use the application in three ways. You can use it for phone to phone calls, PC to phone calls or PC to PC calls. You only need to install one app and all of your calls from any platform will be free. With more and more people depending on technology nowadays, it can be predicted that this app can only make history.
How to Use Google Voice
You can use the application by signing up to their website. You can get it for free if you already have a Google account. Once you’ve signed up, simply click on the “Get a Google Number” button and you’re good to go. You can then use the application in three ways.
Phone to Phone Calls
You can use the app for phone to phone calls by logging in and clicking “Call”. You’ll then be presented with a screen where you have to enter a phone number. Enter the number of the person you like to call in “Number to Call”. Then, you can make it seem that the call came from your phone by simply keying in your phone number in “Phone to call with”. Click “Connect” and you have successfully made a call.
You can also use Google Voice on your mobile phone as there are applications that are made for certain smartphones like Blackberry, Android phones and iPhones.
PC to Phone Calls
You can also use Google Chat. Simply install the video and voice plugin and you’ll be able to call phones directly from your PC. All you need is a trusty microphone so that you can talk and some speakers so that you can hear the voice of the person you’re talking to.
PC to PC Calls
You can also make some PC to PC calls by using the Voice Chat feature of Google Talk. This will let you call anyone as long as they also have the Google Talk Voice Chat activated. The call is completely free.
Unfortunately, this service is only available for US or Canadian numbers. Although you can still use Google Voice for PC to PC calls, phone number calling is still restricted to certain countries. Also, all calls are limited to three hours. After that, your call will be disconnected. You are free to call again as you wish.
