Google Voice and Gmail play nice to deliver telephone to pc calls

You may have seen the news recently that Gmail can not place calls to your contacts through the use of a browser plugin, and google voice’s VOIP infrastructure. All you need is a headset or microphone for your PC to send calls.

But the best part is the flip side — calls to my Google Voice number can reach me in Gmail chat !

So along with ringing my work extension and mobile phone, I will get your call in my (always open) gchat window !

Calls to google voice numbers can now also ring your gchat session
