Make Free Calls Right From Your Computer

  • No Related Post

Yesterday I received a email from Michael Robertson [Linspire] in which he is introducing a new phone service called GizmoCall. Unlike other phone services that requires a complete software download, GizmoCalls uses a Flash plug-in that allows any user to make calls through their browser. The format is simple and easy to use.

Limitations: Registered callers are allowed just 10 minutes a day of calls to test out the system. Eventually free calls will be allowed for longer periods of time, once the system is setup to incorporate advertising.

System requirements:

“Adobe Flash 9 for Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh web browsers.

Microphone and speakers, we recommend using a headset..

  • Users need a microphone and speakers in order to make calls using Gizmo Call.

Personal Computer requirements include

  • Windows
    • Windows 2000, XP
    • Microphone and Speakers
    • Dialup or Broadband Connection
  • Macintosh
    • Mac OS X 10.3.9 +
    • Microphone
    • Dialup or Broadband Connection”

If you have never tried internet telephony, I would also recommend a headset, which improves the sound quality over trying to use a microphone and speakers. And using a dial-up connection may produce inferior results compared to a broadband connection.

And their info. site is located here with more details available.

Well it is time for me to break down and get a headphone. :-)

Once I have this setup, I’ll be reporting back how well it works or doesn’t work.

Has anyone tried this yet? Let us know. Comments are welcome.

can I go ahead and make a call by useing my computer

Give it a try Amber and let us know your results.

i tried and the phone line sounds choppy…(it might have been my conection or my new message window that popped up during the call). there is a recording that says you need to register… and when you are in the phone call if you recieve an instant message, you can hear the noise”ding”. i used a head set and it sounds good but i did not want to register just for one little phone call… even though it will probably take longer to find a different website and to leave this comment than it would have to register, i would rather do that to avoid giving out my email and possibly receiveing more spam than i already have… i wish this message would have been up before i went to that website… they should change it so that you only register if the costomer decides to continue using the service…duh!
