Google brings Click-to-Call service via Google Maps

Google has added a Click-to-Call service in its Google Maps features this week. Appears like a VoIP service, the CtC service allows the users to call advertising from Google Maps. In fact, calls are free. You just need to register for it.

Google Maps Team says how it functions:

Search for a business, like a hardware store, on Google Maps, and click the ‘call’ link next to its phone number…. Then, enter your phone number and click ‘Connect For Free.’ Google calls your phone number and automatically connects you to the hardware store.

There are two things that I really like about this. The business’s phone number is automatically stored in your caller ID so you can easily call back in the future. And by checking the box to save your phone number, you can make future calls from Google Maps with just two mouse clicks (after you pick up your phone, of course).
