zaldy Gizmo5 is the only service that you can directly forward Google to an ATA. The other way would to use a free DID from such services as IPKall or Sipgate One. I am looking to get the best sound quality and wanted to here what the forum members have experienced using different service providers or combinations of service providers. My guess is that Gizmo5 would probably be rated the highest because it is direct.
Thanks for explaining it to me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22709486 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:10:38 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22706897 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22706897 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:46:25 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22699216
I first tried the G5 client, but the people on the other end of the conversation always heard themselves echo back. Then I tried using the X-lite SIP client and everything seems to work much better now.

Sound quality has been good on most calls, but sub-par on a few. I am thinking about using future nine instead of gizmo. Does anyone have any experience with the sound quality of F9 compared to gizmo?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22699216 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:32:26 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22688717 said by bolland99:

I just got GV two days ago and tried Gizmo. From my very limited testing with a headset using Gizmo, the sound quality from Gizmo is crappy...When you were testing the call, what's the status of your CPU resources? Was there any other program(s) throttling the CPU resources?

... very echoey and when I talk, ...
Sounded like an acoustic echo. If this is the case, then you need to adjust the volume and/or micophone sensitivity.

it seems to break up the call coming in.
What is your Internet connection? What CoDec did you use?

I want to try with a regular phone connected to my PC/router but haven't figured out how to do that. So I'm a newbie for sure but just wanted to offer my limited experience.
You can try SIPGate (US base).

Of course that would amount to free domestic VOIP calling, and would crush services like Vonage. I'm thinking if GV was to allow it, there would be a charge.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22684732 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:21:54 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22683841
So far the GV -> IPKALL -> F9 has been trouble free (with one hicup once regarding incoming CID info caused by IPKall for a few days).

If you can persuade Nitzan to set you up, he can automatically enter 1 to answer your calls. It is as close to a free DID as I think GV will get.

The G5 path is very clear and latency is well within expectations and usability. IPKall is not as clear and about double the latency of G5, but still usable.

Yes it would be nice if GV would accommodate SIP forwarding directly.

I don't know how my ATA measures latency, but it usually reports 30ms latency during a call. Have seen it as high as 80ms, though it's not something I look at often.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22682668 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:52:55 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22682009 I forward GV to voipvoip.com and answer it through my ATA with a cordless phone and forward it within voipvoip.com to my cell phone when I am out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22682009 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:31:23 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22681948 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22681948 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:15:55 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22681824
The inbound route works if i forward the incoming call to an extension but not DISA.

Not sure if Google voice or Gizmo does not like the sip signalling for DISA. Not sure why would it be different than a normal call.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22681824 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:55:02 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22652859 Point Google Voice to Sipgate and incoming calls are completely free. Use Google Voice's webpage to initiate a call and it's also free since GV calls into Sipgate.

The question is how reliable and what quality is Sipgate.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22652859 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:32:25 EDT Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-Are-The-Best-Options-To-Forward-Google-Voice-To-An-ATA-22651764
To address your second question about the value of Google Voice ultimately has to be answered on an individual basis. For myself I do indeed find value with it features and quality of service for my particular application. The simple fact that Google Voice is free service at this time that offers free long distance broadens its appeal to the masses as not everyone has a cell phone or the money to spend on an unlimited long distance with their landline service provider. Some may find value that you can still have an incoming and outgoing voice service without paying for a landline. Others may find value in having the unified answering and voicemail capabilities that Google Voice offers for free. I would strongly suggest that you take a look up Google Voices website to see if any of its features will benefit you.

Of course, you can forward to any DID that you setup as one of your GV phones...but that's kinda self defeating as it means more transitions to/from the PSTN.

Remember that call quality will suffer at least a little with every handoff from a TDM channel to a IP channel and vice versa.

AND it [unnecessarily] costs Google several cents per minute to complete your call through the PSTN.True, true. But then again NOT allowing SIP forwarding is also preventing GV from becoming your one-stop-shop for free DIDs (which Google pay for).

The only part of the call that actually travels "through" Gizmo is the SIP. The actual RTP packets go directly to/from your ATA and Google.

Trying to SIP-forward from Gizmo to some other SIP provider will introduce extra latency and points of failure.
