Make Free Calls Right From Your Computer

Posted by on Feb 1, 2007 | 12 Comments

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.
Need more information? Stop over at GizmoCall.Com 

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.

    gizmocall is good but has some limitations with regards to calling all destinations. Do you guys know of any alternative to gizmo?
    thanks.

    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!
