Free Phone Calls using Gizmo

Posted on 7/20/2006 in Information Technology

In what looks like an amazing deal Gizmo is offering free phone calls to Australia, Canada, the USA and many other nations around the world. For some nations you get free calls to land lines and mobiles, while for most nations you get free calls only to landlines.

For those of us who are living far away from our family this is a deal that is almost too good to be true. It also shows us how cheap technology is making communications, especially telephone calls.

I have not actually tried using Gizmo before, although I did set-up an account with them a while ago because they were offering a free US phone number for their users (Gismo Area777).

You can read more about this deal on the Gizmo web-site, and on VoIP Watch: Gizmo Goes All Calls Free...Almost, where I originally read the story.


Update - It pays to read the fine print as there is some interesting commentary about this in the comments in the following article about the service:
