Phone calls return to Gmail thanks to a Hangouts upgrade |
July 10, 2013
Google is making good on its promise to bring back free voice calls in Gmail, after temporarily removing them a couple months ago.
Voice calls disappeared from Gmail in May, when the company replaced Google Chat with a new feature called Hangouts. While Hangouts still allowed users to make video calls and receive calls to their Google Voice numbers, the ability to make outbound calls to landlines and mobile phones was missing, at least for a little while.
