After getting the same query each month by some one or the other, I decided to write the procedure in an article. Well changing the name is not at all difficult but you have to dig around a little in Gmail.

Here is the 11 step process with an image flowchart that will easily let you change your name in Gmail/Gtalk. (Click on the image at right to enlarge it.)

Changing name in Gmail/Gtalk

  1. Sign in to you Google Account.
  2. Go to “My Account” Page.
  3. Click on Edit Link.
  4. Enter your First name & last name here.
  5. Click on “Save”.
  6. Now open Gmail.
  7. Click on settings.
  8. Then go to the accounts tab.
  9. Click on edit info.
  10. Now you can either select the name you just changed in the above step or you can type a new name you want to use for Gmail/Gtalk.
  11. Click on “Save”.

That’s it. Your (new) name will appear in Gtalk & will also be attached when you will compose an email.

NOTE: You cannot have different names in gtalk and gmail through a same account.

Good enough, isn’t it? But the question is price of this subscription. One day back when Yahoo AP first announced this news they included:

The plan will allow unlimited calls to land-line phones in 34 countries for $9.95 per month, said Don Albert, vice president and general manager for Skype North America.

But today when I checked the price of the Unlimited World plan on Skype’s site, the rates were different there. I saw banner that was showing a price tag of $12.95 per month for Unlimited World plan. Even few hours ago lifehacker also wrote an article with $9.95 as price.

The Unlimited Country plan banner showed a total of $5.95 per month per country. This $3 difference is still a mystery that – Has the rate been increased in just one day? or Skype has different rates for different locations?.

The skype-to-skype calls remains free as always.
