Google Talk has a colorful and simple design, similar to their web site. Your Gmail account name is your Google Talk login. Not only can you instant message friends, but you can call them as well if you have a microphone and speakers hooked up to your computer.

It works easily enough and gives users more choices for keeping in touch with family, friends and associates.

    Hi, why don't you try to use GTalk Phone (www.gtalkphone.com). Its a service that works well with Google Talk. You can make PC to ordinary Phone calls and vice versa! Cheers!
