BTW- the Area775 thing has some quirks (by design). In order for calls to ring you, you are required to provide landline numbers (and or mobile) and have money in your Gizmo account. Calls into your Area 775 # will ring simultaneously all the devices when anyone calls your Area775#. The catch is that if you answer anything but your Gizmo client (or you could also use your N800, or a 6011S) you will have your account debited $2 per incident. Not nice.
If you do not have your account funded, and/or you don't provide "CallWave" the landline/mobile numbers they seek, all calls to your Area775 number go straight to voicemail.
GrandCentral is an option because they can direct calls from PSTN to Gizmo SIP but all calls are screened..... you have to press a key to accept the calls. This is a nuisance.
My solution was getting a number from IPKall. It isn't 100% reliable, but it is 100% free. People who call my IPKall PSTN number ring onto my Nokia N800(with Gizmo), my Sunrocket 6011S(configured for Gizmo), and any Linux/Windoze computers running the Gizmo soft client.
I am not quite sure if Skype and the Gizmo client play nicely together. They might not. I am also not sure that several Sunrocket 6011S devices work properly if they are all on the same private network. SKype will allow many clients running at the same time on a private network because Skype randomly assigned a different port to each client. That way they don't trample one another. I don't think Gizmo does this. I am not 100% sure but I think you CAN reassign ports in the Gizmo soft client. The objective is to NOT have several Gizmo clients share the same ports. Regards, M5.
