In order to utilize the service Google Apps users will have to get their domain administrators to enable Google Voice and Google Checkout.
Gmail product manager Pierre Lebeau claimed in the blog post "You can now buy calling credit in your choice of four currencies (Euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars or US dollars) and there are no connection fees, so you only pay for the time you talk," the service is now available in 38 languages he added.
This launch will make Google a powerful challenger to skype, (world's leading voice-over-IP (VoIP) provider).
Calls made from Gmail to mobile phones in the UK, Germany or France will cost eight euro cents (7pound) per minute.Whereas Calls made from Skype to the same numbers will cost 15pound per minute.
