I think you have to be in the US to do this.

freebird_9924 · Aug 31, 2010

Nope, they have mentioned free call to US & Canada, not Only from US bcz it was published in our news papers also.

Though I will check if I use proxy then it'll work or not.
Can u suggest how to get proper US proxy?

Plz check if it's working for u or not.

I've never set up a google voice account. I've been able to use this without issues.
Also Google Voice doesn't show any calls made. I've done quite a few sitting here the past couple days.

Edit: Though searching around it appears to be voice implemented directly into the chat I stand corrected dunno why my call log isn't working for voice then.

Finally anyone explain how to use it from india?

Google Voice is only available in the United States, so anything short of immigration isn't going to work.

Hopefully they'll spread it out internationally, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Integration into Gmail
When Google Voice was offered during beta testing, Gmail Labs offered an add-on so users could listen to their voicemails in their Gmail inbox.[37] Since August 26, 2010, U.S. Gmail users may place calls to the U.S., Canada, and international destinations from within Gmail.[38] Calls to U.S. and Canadian phone numbers are free, while calls to international destinations cost as low as 2 cents per minute.[39] This is possible with the help of a voice and video chat plugin that users download and install so their browsers can take advantage of cameras, microphones, and speakers installed in the computer.[40] If the user has a Google Voice account, the account phone number is used as caller identification relayed to the destination.

The Google Call feature is Google Voice, but included with Gmail. It's a US only service at the moment. People in the US can call anyone else in the US and Canada free of charge, but have to pay to call anyone else internationally.

We’re rolling out this feature to U.S. based Gmail users over the next few days, so you’ll be ready to get started once “Call Phones” shows up in your chat list (you will need to install the voice and video plug-in if you haven’t already). If you’re using Google Apps for your school or business, then you won’t see it quite yet. We’re working on making this available more broadly - so stay tuned!

For more information, visit gmail.com/call.

Update (8/26): This has now been rolled out to everyone in the U.S. If you don't see the feature yet, try logging out of Gmail and signing back in.

Sorry man, that's beyond my expertise. I'm sure someone else can chime in for you though.

Good luck!
