Google has finally announced the Google Voice calling for Gmail inbox with which you can make VOIP calls to anywhere in the world on landline or mobile. With this announcement Google has officially stepped into the world of cheap VOIP calls. What does it mean for Skype ( the market leader ) and other VOIP call and services providers( Vopium, Vonage, Fring, Truphone and Nimbuzz ), well in my opinion Google is going to give them tough time.

Since Google is offering free calls to US and Candara on both landline and mobile from US and Canada till end of year 2010, that itself is a big deal and will certainly attract lot of people to use this service. But what about rest of the world ? It will depend on multiple factors as call rates, special call packages, voice quality, Add-on availability and International availability.

Below is a comparison I have performed between call rates of Google Voice, Skype and Vopium which is another VOIP call provider. I have highlighted the rates which are lowest or are distinct. See complete rate listing of Google Voice, Skype and Vopium A/S. Other serious competitors in VOIP arena are Vonage, Fring, Truphone and Nimbuzz which offer features like wifi calls, messenger, 3G mobile data support and mobile clients.
