Re: GGoogle chat vs Skype

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I use Google Voice all the time and I have use Google chat.  When you make a call with 
Google Chat you can actually see the credit you have in Google Voice.  I actually made a 
phone call from the Phillipines to San Diego using Google Chat and it was free.  I do not 
know how.  I do know that phone calls with Google Voice within the US are free and the 
calls to other countries are less expensive than Skype ( I also have Skype).  Skype has 
a rate but then they add extra fees, which Google Voice does not.

Except if you look at the "Terms of Service" tab on that page  the
prices are for Google Voice. I am using Google Chat which is a different
product.
What are its costs?
