• Gizmo Project – Open source VOIP with a good service package – and how to answer 775 calls incoming

    by  • March 23, 2007 • Cool Tools • 3 Comments

    The Gizmo Project is a rather good open source based alternative to Skype. They will give you a free 775 area code number which you can get calls inbound from for free.

    Yeah. Free US area code inbound phonecalls, and two cents a minute outbound.

    However, there’s a problem. YOU CAN’T ANSWER THE DAMN PHONECALLS. It says “press 1 to answer” and there’s no place to press one and…. you…. discover that the solution to the Callwave / Gizmo Project 775 can’t answer calls problem is that you hit the little button in the bottom corner, and it pops up the keypad.

    So, knowing that, it works just fine. Good software, thanks guys!

      You should answer your phone when it rings. You never know when there’s beer and/or whiskey involved.

      Its not completely open source as far as I know. I think its closed source but uses some open source protocol for voip
