How to Embed Google Voice on WordPress
Google Voice is a combination VoIP and call-forwarding service created by Google. The service has a feature that allows you to create a Call Widget that you can embed anywhere HTML is supported, such as your WordPress site. When a user clicks on the widget, they're asked to enter their phone number, and then they're connected to you by phone. If you want a way to give your WordPress blog readers a way to contact you personally, use the Call Widget. You can embed the Google Voice Call Widget into your WordPress blog in just a few steps.
