You can use your computer as a phone!

Daily Technical Tricks and Resources

I have recently learned how to use the computer to make phone calls. If you have a Gmail account, it allows you to use your computer's microphone and speakers for free, to call your friends and family. It is so convenient to call people directly on their phones from your computer, and it allows you to have your hand be free to do work and talk at the same time. I do not own a house phone, and so when I misplace my cell phone it is very difficult to find at times. But the fact that my computer can call it, save me time and energy of looking for it. I found a website that has easy to follow directions, and a video that provides you with short tutorial about how to use your Gmail account as a phone (http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html).

  1. Heidi, this is a little hard to read, is there any chance that you would be willing to change the font color to something that is brighter, such as yellow?
