A minute or so ago I checked my gmail and I received an alert that read:
How does this work?

I’m not on Gtalk so I don’t really know if this is something new. It could be a new browser VOIP thing. As much as I trust Google and their products, they haven’t made payment methods THAT convenient (i.e. Google Checkout). That and the fact that they’re following the Yahoo! web products flop trend. Perhaps I’m being a bit too harsh. But don’t listen to me, go ahead and try this out for yourself, I’m sure those of us who have the means to credit these online phone accounts will have a great experience.
