How to make phone calls from Gmail?

We all know about the popular Google Voice Service. It's a VoIP based service through which any person with a Google Voice account can call any regular phone number from a PC or mobile phone connected to the Internet.

For a user residing in USA or Canada, the calls from Google Voice account are absolutely free within the country limits. For users outside North America the calls are charged according to rates specified by Google. The rates are the cheapest among any other VoIP service or Telecom service providers worldwide. Unfortunately this hugely popular service is not yet available to Google users in Pakistan.


We cannot call a regular phone number in Pakistan using the Internet. When trying to open a Google Voice account, one will be greeted with a message informing that, "...Google Voice is not available in your country..." and thus we can't have a Google Voice number in Pakistan.
But, fortunately, there are procedures and tricks available on the web, following which you may be able to open a Google Voice account in India and hopefully get a Google Voice number added with GV features. But there is no guarantee for it's success.

Follow the Steps:-

1. Login into Gmail account and click “Call phone†at the top of your chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name.
2. If you do not see “call phone†feature, make sure you are logged into chat. Also, make sure you already have ‘voice and video plug-in’ installed for successfully making calls from Gmail interface.
3. Calling pop-up window will open.
