Google voice is one of the highlighted news in 2009 and take over of the company like Gizmo was great news in last years.
Lets talk about google voice and Gizmo first.
Google voice which was named previously as Grand central was providing free USA phone number with free unlimited incoming and outgoing call to US. After the change of name to Google voice they upgrade the system and add free SMS to USA. Google voice lack the sip so they need either sip enable Voip client (work only with Gizmo) or USA number. Interesting thing is that Google voice number can ring to multiple telephone and mobile at same time.
Gizmo is a window and Web-based VoIP client that lets you make phone calls over the Internet, similar to programs like Skype. Making call to one sip to another sip is easiest from Gizmo.
On November 12,2009 Google acquire the Gizmo and working on it. What I found is that the system is start to work for outgoing call to USA from Gizmo dialer.
Now you can make free call from Gizmo Voip client if you have google voice number. The important thing is that you have to make proper setting to Gizmo in Google voice website.
When I try I found that call will be delay for 5 to 10 sec and then Gizmo start to ring to another side and receiver see your Google voice number in his caller id and you don't need to initiate call from web browser now
