There was a time, when you wanted to make a call STD/ISD, needed to struggle a lot.
Then landline phone companies solved big problems into more convenient & easy way, but for more price!
Then mobiles gave different approach to; added mobility to your call. Pretty good :), but still with more price.
Next one, text chat.. but not human touch either by voice or picture of your dear ones; just a keyboard touch... But for free... (except of internet usage charge !). Need to install a separate IM software program. (Indeed PC needed)
Amazing one next. Voice chat. I feel my friend's happiness or sorrow just by hearing his voice, no explanation required. Free. Thanks to Yahoo, Gtalk, Skype, etc. Need to install a separate IM software program here also.
Later Yahoo added video chat for free. Need to install a separate IM software program here also.
Now, the latest of GOOGLE. text,voice & video chat in your GMAIL itself for free, in browser window itself. Just plugin to be installed. No separate program or application required. Very much cool.
Here's what you'll need to get started:
Download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in.
Sign in to Gmail.
In the Chat section of your Gmail, select the contact you want to call.
If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more.
If your friend doesn't have a camera next to their name in your chat list, you can invite them to download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in from the Video & more menu in a chat window.
Even if your friend doesn't have a video camera, you can still make a voice call or a 1-way video call.
Enjoy talking to your dear ones, with a feel of their presence next you. I love it.
