Free phone calls with Gizmo Call

Make free phone calls using your web browser with Gizmo Call.



It works really well. I tried this earlier, and the clarity of the call is really good. Tested this by making a call to a Malaysian mobile number. I presume calls to the US would be much better.

Another nice feature is that you can make unlimited calls to any SIP device. Excerpt from their recent newsletter:
Use Gizmo Call to make unlimited free calls to anyone using Gizmo Project, Windows Live Messenger, GoogleTalk, or any SIP device, including Nokia's N800 tablet and N80 wi-fi mobile phones. For example, gizmocall.com/@gmail.com or gizmocall.com/@hotmail.com.
Best part -- you get 10 minutes of free credit per day, if you signup. And if you don't want to signup, they will still give you 5 minutes worth of free credit. Now, that's a great deal. The signup process is under 20 seconds, so get on it while it's free!

Do note that you have to download a plugin (1MB) prior to making your first call. Technically this means you would have to do so on any computer you intend to make calls from. Hence, it's not a complete browser-based solution, but still worth using for its simplicity and focus -- cheap good quality calls.

Making a call requires nothing but entering a web address following the format: http://gizmocall.com/. Try their demo number: http://gizmocall.com/18005551212. If you know my mobile number, you can try that too.

Their Call Out rates are cheap. US$0.02 (2 cents) for calls to US & Singapore phones. Slightly higher for calls to Malaysian mobile phones (5.7 cents). Surprisingly very high for UK mobile phones (21 cents).

Hey, how about a review on The Shield? Probably the reason for the lack of updates!
