I've also heard, but haven't checked it out yet, that with android based smartphones, you can use this feature to make calls and it doesn't count against your mobile plan minutes. True, it would use your data minutes, but you can choose to have your phone connect to your home, or any other available, wireless network and go through that connection. My head is kind of spinning thinking about it, but basically, I can connect my cell phone to my home wireless network, and use this gmail feature to make hours long phone calls without worry of using up my mobile phone minutes or going over my data plan limits. ________________________________ From: Jim Lawrence <accessd at shaw.ca> To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 12:40:45 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] CSS overload It seems that you can now connect to a regular phone via a GMail component. I have not checked it all out yet but at first blush it looks good. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html Jim _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
