Re: Gizmo5 has added a Google Voice section in its members area.

I think the requirement to use a third party, like IPKall, is a complexity and a disadvantage.

I'm still happy.

But do I think Gizmo5 are very business smart? Well, no, not very. I agree, they seem to make technical jumps without thinking things through and not focus on the nuts and bolts of growing the business.

Still, Gizmo5 was simple to configure and use, with reasonable quality. That's good.

In my case, I was unable to get G5 to operate properly with my ATA (see »Strange Behavior: Gizmo -> iAN-02Ex), so I had to use IPKall or forwarding directly to the ATA anyway. If G5 were aiming for the masses, it would provide an ATA, auto-provisioning, etc. like VOIPo and others. I think it is aimed at geeks, but doesn't provide the performance or quality that geeks might want. I suspect that if you took a poll of this site, and asked how many people have a G5 account but NEVER use G5 call credits, you would find that they outnumber those who do use G5 call credits. Just my opinion.

Agreed.

Gizmo5:

Not easy enough for the masses; Not good enough for the geeks.
