http://www.gizmo5.com/pc/backdoor Seems like a cool idea and will be implemented more if more people are using it give it a shot as the quality is fantastic! I set this baby up as a backup line in my basement. I've had about 75% connection rate just messing with it. Also use grand central for incoming its basically a 100% free phone when it works Smile and if you set the dial plan up properly in your ata you wont have to dial the 0101 every time you call.

Aren't Gizmo calls limited to 10 minutes? I think Gizmo is not that great. Ha

Bah...first three numbers I checked are not available. What a waste of time.

I checked out Gizmo Project before and decided it wasn't for me, "free calls" have too many restrictions Laughing

I think these have rules of their own. In essence you are making a VOIP call so I dont think they have limitations on free calls. Again not really a whole solution but a nice backup/second line

I am thinking that GrandCentral no longer is supporting Gizmo sip numbers. This option is no longer visible in GC "settings".

Has anyone else noticed this. Here is a link to the GC user help forum about it.

Confirmation, affirmation...concurrence?

My GC page still has the gizmo number and I can call out using it.

I never implemented Gizmo as an active setting on my GC UI, but I no longer have that option. There is no setting available for a Gizmo number any longer on my user panel.
