Google is going up against the likes of Skype with its new Gmail service, yes search engine giants have just announced that it will be offering you the ability to make phone calls over the internet via Gmail.
Google already have Gmail voice and video chat feature but this is old hat now so they have come up with a new service that allows you to dial phone numbers, this is definitely a move to compete against the likes of Skype, the question is should Skype be worried?
This service in our eyes is fantastic, many of us already have Gmail accounts and in some circumstances we are in an area where our mobile phones receive bad reception, this is where the new Gmail phone call service comes into play.
Please do let us know what you think of Google’s new service plan and of course if you think it will damage Skype.
