Google Voice and Gizmo

I’m still playing around with Google Voice and have just set it up to connect to Gizmo.  You just add a new phone and select ‘gizmo’ as the type.  Google will call you and you have to enter a number to prove you have the phone and so you can’t use it to prank call people, for example.  I found Google wouldn’t accept the numbers until I said ‘out of band’ under preferences -> advanced within Gizmo like so:

Gizmo Voice

Once I did that Google recognised the number immediately (no need to reboot or even close that window down!)

I recommend putting it back to IN-BAND as I believe Talkshoe requires in-band though.

So in theory using this you can call anyone in the US for free from anywhere in the world.  I am going to continue to try this out.  I did make a test call to MrsXoke and there was a half second delay, but for free phone calls I can live with that!
