Re: HOWTO: Free Landline Calls - Beta
 

I used the following video tutorial and found it very easy to set up. I don't need to press 1 to answer a call - I just hit the phone icon and it answers. No rtcom app needed either. Just Gizmo and Grancentral:

I have some invites available as well: PM me with your email address and I'll hook you up.

I think making the phone call (starting the call from Grand Central) doesn't require pressing 1. It's receiving calls that require pressing 1.

Sorry guys I'm kind of slow...
I have signed up for GC & Gizmo
I have number from GC, but am trying to figure out how to get the phone # from Gizmo?

How do you get the number from Gizmo again?

Re: HOWTO: Free Landline Calls - Beta
 

If you go to the Gizmo Project website and login. They should list your number there. Usually starts with 747.

Thanks Laughing man!
This has to be the coolest thing!!!
I am not a linux guy by any means, and opted for the n800 over the ipod touch about 2 months ago, and have been amazed at all the things that this IT can do!!!

Re: HOWTO: Free Landline Calls - Beta
 

All right, I just discovered this thread and spread 15 min. reading it. Ok, so lemee get things straight. The only way you can make a call to a number is from your computer? Or can you make calls from your n800? And one more thing...how do you sign up for gizmo?
Sorry If this is already been answered before, but this is the only thing thats barely keeping me awake right now. It's 3:10 A.M.!!!!

Hey Laughing Man,

How do I connect Gizmo to use Grand Central? I have Grand Central using my Gizmo number. Is there a setting to have Gizmo use Grand Central?

Re: HOWTO: Free Landline Calls - Beta
 

If you want to make a call you have to be at some WIFI point and go to the GrandCentral website or mobile grandcentral website (m.grandcentral.com which isn't flash heavy) and then initate the call from there. It then will call whatever phone you selected (say Gizmo) and if you are running Gizmo or the sipphone # then it'll call the n800 as well as any Gizmo that is logged into that account. To sign up for Gizmo just go to www.gizmoproject.com

loughmillermedia, to connect Gizmo to GrandCentral you just need to add the Gizmo # into Grand Central. When you make a call from the GrandCentral website it will ask you which phones (out of the #s you've listed) to call. For example, for me it's my home phone, Gizmo, or cell phone. Just choose Gizmo after you choose the phone # to dial, and then it'll ring whatever computers have Gizmo Project open. Or the sipphone # (if you are using the built in client in the n800 [not Gizmo] with the sipphone #.

To receive phone calls, you can set up GrandCentral in settings to dial all phones, certain phones (Say, only Gizmo). And when people call your Grand Central #, Grand Central will forward the call to say your n800 running Gizmo or the sipphone service.
