When this feature was first announced, I was thrilled! Free phone calls from my computer would be great because a few of our family members are long distance.
But I couldn’t see the little “Call phone” option when I was in my Gmail chat.
Many of my other Canadian friends could see it and I just got more frustrated.
The trick is…it’s only available in the US and you need to
make sure your Language settings are set to “English (US)”.
A long time ago I had changed my setting to “English (UK)” so that it wouldn’t try to correct all of my Canadian-English words (like honour and colour).
Now I’ll have to be more careful when I type, but I can make phone calls to my Mom and brother for free!!
