After 10,000,000 calls, the team has offered some tips and tricks on how one can unlock additional features in Gmail to receive calls with a Google Voice number.

Voice in Gmail, which was introduced by search engine Google on Wednesday, allows users call cellphones and land lines from their Google e-mail accounts. Making calls anywhere in the U.S. and Canada will be free of charge for at least a year.

Users can also make international calls for a low fee starting at $0.02 per minute to landlines in the UK, France, Germany, China, Taiwan or Japan with mobile phones at higher rates of at 98 cents a minute to countries like Cuba, or Nauru. Google is planning to roll out the service to other regions in due course of time.
