[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 279440, member: 3907"] Yes, it can. Gmail incudes its own instant message interface, called Google Chat. There's also a VOIP phone program called Google Talk. As long as you have a microphone and speakers or a microphone-enabled headset, you can "phone" people through Google Talk at no charge. They have to have a Gmail and Google Talk account set up as well, but it works pretty well. It's similar to Skype and other such services. I don't use the Chat or the Talk very much. Same reason I don't use the phone. I don't like the interruptions in real time, and I find it hard to string the words together. I'd much rather have people e-mail me, and then I have time to think about what I want to say, etc. before responding. [/QUOTE]
