Gtalk (gooletalk) to landline or cell phone service.

Splinter.net has a gateway for googletalk client. This is one of the many emerging gtalk gateways. I checked out the service and the rates are better some areas and not so good for some areas. You can check the rates table if you are interested in calling landline (POTS) or a cell phone from your googletalk client.
It is pretty simple to setup, you just add service@splinter.net to your contact list on GoogleTalk, and Spinternet act as a middle man and enable you to reach regular telephones (landline and cell phones).
Then you You merely send the contact a message like "call 12127773456" and we connect you. You can also check the cost of the call (per minute) by sending a message COST xxxyyyzzzz - Displays the cost of calling xxxyyyzzzz for one minute.
If you are interested in testing the waters before using the service, once you setup your googletalk to use the splinternet service They will accept your invitation and give you a small credit so you can make a few calls without giving them any payment details.
And if you are happy with the service, you can use paypal to pay for the service.
