Google phone on my Air 11

[gary c]

I installed google phone on my 11" air. When I make a call I can hear the person but they can't hear me. Should I be using a blue tooth for a cell phone or what? I know the Air doesn't have plug in for a speaker. I am sure one of you guys know the answer.
Thanks for any help.

I know the Air doesn't have plug in for a speaker.

Of course it does:

Most bluetooth headsets for cell phones will work just fine with Mac OS.

Headsets are really much better for voice conversations than using the internal microphone on a computer. As a side benefit you can get up and move around some (within bluetooth range) and still be able to talk.

I screwed up in my original post. I meant that it doesn't have a plug in for a mike. I could hear the person over the in built speakers but even if I yelled hello they couldn't hear me. Probably something I am doing wrong.
