Call phones from withing Gmail (like Skype)

Just in case some may not have seen this, gmail can now do the same thing as skype, from within Gmail. You have been able to to audio and video calls for a while through gmail (skype-to-skype) but now you can actually call mobiles and landlines for very cheap rates.

They have not activated this for everyone yet - so if you cannot see this in your gmail yet, change the Language to "US English" and then you will see the "Call Phone" icon just underneath your own name in the gmail chat box. Landline calls are free to the US & Canada which could be well handy for some. They give you $0.10 free credit just to try it and see if it works, then you can buy extra just like skype.(however note this: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/08/dont-click-this-button-in-google-voice.html)

I tested it and the quality was great.
