Using Verizon, I have set my google phone number as a member of my friends and family list, which I can call to without using my plan minutes. http://www.wikihow.com/Call-Phones-from-Gmail PR Phil Rosenkranz | Program Coordinator/Applications Specialist | Yakima County Public Services Direct 509.574.2250 | Toll Free 800.572.7354 | Fax 509.574.2301 -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 1:02 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] GMail and Android phone That does sound like a definite plus and it would make it an excellent reason for going Android... but I will have to hear of someone actually using it before I jump. I have been told if I move to Vancouver there will be a lot more work for me... so I have been thinking of maybe renting from a daughter and staying there during the week if what you have been hearing is true it would be a great reason think new Android phone.

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 _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
