I was searching for some help on corporate law and I bumped into this cool feature – Click-To-Call by Google. Click to Call service connects you with the advertiser without revealing your phone number. The advertise looks as shown below,
If you decide to talk to the advertiser, you click on the phone receiver icon and it will let you enter your phone number in a text box as shown below,
Remember not to enter the country code as Google is smart enough to detect it, unless you fool it usign a VPN connection of some other country 😉 In my case, I badly wanted to talk to the advertiser and I entered my mobile number and hit “Connect for free”, within the next 3 seconds their was an incoming call with identity as “401”. All incoming calls from the US without caller line identification are marked as 401 and they are most likely using the VoIP route. I then heard an announcement whish asked me to stay online while it connects me to the advertiser. And within the next 10 seconds I was connected with the advertiser. The whole experience was seamless.
The advertiser pays to Google and you will not be billed for any outgoing calls. Incoming calls are FREE in India. Yellow Pages in the US also offers similar service.
