Google extends free Gmail calls in U.S., Canada for another year

Google has announced that it is extending its free Gmail voice calls in Canada and the United States for 2012. The company, though, will still charge "insanely low rates" for international calls.

In 2010, Digital Journal reported that Google launched its feature where Gmail users could be able to make calls to landlines and mobile devices from Gmail. It was free for users to make domestic calls within the United States and Canada, but it did cost users for international calls.

Google has now announced on its blog that it is extending its free calling from Gmail within Canada and the U.S. throughout 2012. Unfortunately, the free service has not been extended internationally, but Google noted that they are still maintaining “insanely low rates.”

The search engine giant also includes a 10-cent credit for you to try out. The voice calls are available to numerous countries.

It is unknown as to why Google is extending its free service. There is no explanation on its blog, except for the short two-paragraph message:

Autocomplete changes
The address bar features domain highlighting for added security so that the top-level domain is shown in black whereas the other parts of the URL are grayed out. Domain highlighting cannot be turned off by users or web sites. Other features of the address bar include support for pasting multi-line URLs and an improved model for inserting the selection caret, and selecting words, or entire URLs in the Address bar. The inline autocomplete feature has been dropped from Internet Explorer 8, leading to criticism by beta users.[30]
Automatic tab-crash recovery
If a website or add-on causes a tab to crash in Internet Explorer 8, only that tab is affected. The browser itself remains stable and other tabs remain unaffected, thereby minimizing any disruption to the browsing experience. If a tab unexpectedly closes or crashes it is automatically reloaded with the same content as before the crash.
