Google Voice's website gets Hangouts integration, no Google+ account required

From PC World: We're still waiting to see if Google will eventually merge Google Voice with Hangouts for Android and iOS, as has been anticipated for months now. But on Wednesday, Google went ahead and did the opposite for PCs, integrating Hangouts into the Google Voice website.

The new feature makes it easier to quickly call friends, family, and coworkers when you're not close to a phone connected to your Google Voice account.

Even better, the new Google Voice-Hangouts integration does not require a Google+ account or Hangouts in Gmail to work, Alex Wiesen, tech lead manager for Google Voice (and as first reported by Engadget).

To use the new option, visit the Google Voice website and enter the number you'd like to call. Then, in the drop-down menu under Phone to call with, you'll see an option for Hangouts.

This will open a separate Hangouts window and you can carry on your voice conversation via Hangouts as you normally would.
