Receive incoming calls in Gmail Chat

Dear Readers,

I hope after gmail introduced a new feature to place calls to anywhere in the world, everyone might have started creating your own Google Voice#. mmmm Sounds good.

I have read / heard a statement like "Only a lazy person can find the shortest route for a complex problem", Yes that's true in all the scenario. Let me stop with these philosophy. Jumping into the point directly, today's post is on how to receive incoming calls thru gmail chat.

Yesterday i was sitting in front of my laptop and my phone in bedroom was on the charger. When i received the call by the time i answered the call it went to voice mail :(. Yes i was walking slowly unfortunately. Then i started thinking how come Google didn't introduce any new feature for this??? Google'd and found the resolution.

Yes, We can now receive and place calls thru gmail chat itself. In case if your phone is away you will be able to answer your calls thru your laptop on gmail chat to your Google voice#.

You should enable this feature by going into Settings--> Voice settings and under Phones Check the box which states forwards to Google Chat.

Now if you receive any calls both your phone and Google chat will receive your calls simultaneously.
