Google Voice and Gizmo

Are there any Google Voice users on the list? I just noticed recently
that you can now add a Gizmo number to your phone list on Google Voice.
After adding it there, enter your gVoice # in your Gizmo account. The
upshot is that now calls from Gizmo will show your gVoice # in Caller ID
and you can get inbound calls for free from the PSTN along with free
outbound calls to the U.S. I've tested it out with the Mac app and will
try placing/receiving calls from my N800 Gizmo app when I get home tonight.

The pithy ruminations from Gary on
<Google Voice and Gizmo> were:
=> Are there any Google Voice users on the list? I just noticed recently

Yes. First GrandCentral, now GV.

=> that you can now add a Gizmo number to your phone list on Google Voice.
=> After adding it there, enter your gVoice # in your Gizmo account. The
=> upshot is that now calls from Gizmo will show your gVoice # in Caller ID

I've been doing that for almost 2 years....it's pretty common.

Check out the app "DialCentral"...it's a GV "dial pad" (and access to a listing
of recent calls, transcribed voicemail, etc.) for the Nokia.

One more trick once you've got this set up is not to use the slow &
computationally heavy Gizmo client, but the run a lightweight VOIP client, such
as the default apps that comes with the N810.
