Google Voice Now Has Free Calling To Canada!

Effective immediately you can now make calls from anywhere in the world to Canada.  You can make the calls directly from the Gizmo5 dialer, but that service has unfortunately been limited to just 3 minute phone calls at a time.

You can also have Google Voice call your Gizmo5 number on your desktop and connect you with any US or Canadian number for free and you won’t have any limitations on the call length.

See the related post linked to above for more info and for the link to get your own free Google Voice phone number, which is currently taking less than 1 week to arrive.

SIZZLING! Get Free VOIP With Free Nationwide Long Distance With Google Voice And Gizmo5!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Update: Since the time of this posting when unlimited calling was allowed, Gizmo5 has instituted a 3 minute call limit while the service is in beta testing mode.

If you already have a Google Voice account than this procedure is quite simple.

Yes there are tons of other great uses for Google Voice, but this one is pretty neat…I’ll definitely be trying it out when I go to Israel next month!

If you don’t have one yet, just request an invite and within a couple weeks you should get one.

Once you have set up your Google Voice account,

-Go to gizmo5.com

-Sign up for a gizmo account and download their VOIP app.

-On the Gizmo site is a “My” tab. In that section is a place to enter your Google Voice login information, enter it and save it.

-On your Google Voice Settings page add your Gizmo phone number (1+10 digit phone number found in your Gizmo account page) and verify the number.

-Use the Gizmo5 VOIP to make phone calls to anywhere in the US and receive phone calls with your Google Voice number for free!

You can also use Google Voice and Gizmo5 to work with any other VOIP device for free nationwide calls.  You can use a device like this $53 Internet Phone Adapter to make VOIP phone calls from a real phone for free.

Packet 8 VOIP Service-Quality Service For Less!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

Update: Packet 8 was chosen as the official partner for ex-sunrocket customers.
The firms have made arrangements to expedite the number porting from sunrocket to Packet 8.
Packet 8 is now the 2nd largest independent VOIP provider, trailing only Vonage.
The signup link below has been updated to an offer that will give you an instant credit for the $30 activation fee when added to your cart, as well as a $25 statement credit!

Packet 8 Promotional $30 Activation Credit and $25 Statement Credit Signup Linky

Uniden UIP165P $30 Rebate (Free After Rebate)

Remember to port your sunrocket phone number to another carrier asap so that you won’t lose your phone number!!!

When placing an order, just select “Keep my old number” instead of “Get a new number.”

Packet 8 has a Residential 1 year unlimited calling plan to US and Canadian phones for just $199.99 (that’s under $17/month!)
Other plans include a $24.99/month monthly plan and a $49.99/month plan with unlimited calling to numerous countries throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East (And the answer is yes, Israel is included in the unlimited global plan).

Additionally they give you a free(after rebate) Uniden cordless/expandable phone with a built-in router when you sign up.

A very neat benefit of having VOIP service is realized when you are traveling internationally. You can simply plug an ethernet cable into your phone and you will have a US based number and be able to make free phone calls back to the US from wherever in the world that you may find yourself!

There is a $29.99 activation fee, but when you go through the link above you will receive a $24.99 credit on your first bill to help offset the fee.

As far as call quality goes, in Brazil we used Packet 8 for a year, and it worked out very well for us.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee-as long as you use less than 300 minutes, you will not be charged for the monthly fee, and the activation fee will be refunded as well.
