Do you know that you can call any number (landline or cellfone) in US or Canada using Gmail for free? I'm not sure but I think they started to offer this last year. They have extended the same offer now. Isn't that cool? I wrote a short post on my other blog. Or you may check the details here.
Just few days ago, I stumbled upon a blog from Gmail that they are now offering free text messages or SMS to cellphones here in the Philippines. It is limited for now to 50 messages and only within the Sun and Smart networks, but they have a standing offer with other telcos to open up their network to Google. Also, while they only offer 50 free messages initially, they said it can be replineshed once anyone you texted replies to you. See details here.
That's just so cool.
