Here is some additional information. I never gave Gizmo a credit card number because I unwilling to allow them to charge it whenever they wish. I had used PayPal to buy things at Gizmo. Gizmo stopped taking PayPal payments now. I suspect it may have something to do with "free Area775's" $2 per dual-ring call fee. The details behind why Gizmo stopped taking PayPal are a secret (Gizmo's choice). Many people have inquired in the Official Gizmo Forum only to be snubbed. It is clear that Gizmo insists on getting your credit card number on file.

Gizmo can do what they want as far as having all these little tricks in place to make money, but it doesn't change the fact that is seedy praying on people with "challenged" abilities in society. The ACF (all calls free) thing and free Area775 are both examples of this type of conduct.

Now that I see Gizmo stopped accepting PayPal and is pressuring people to submit credit cards to be kept on file at Gizmo my recommendation would be to use them only for SIP to SIP, or PSTN to SIP-in using one of the 20 PSTN access numbers that I linked to earlier in this thread.

I had been considering buying more services from Gizmo, but I am reconsidering that at this time.

Micheal Robertson, if you are reading this, I ask that you stop with the sleazy marketing. Saying things are free in colorful web pages, then putting multiple conditions on them, forcing people to give you credit card numbers, and saying you can charge the credit cards in fine print if someone loses ACF over time or carelessly / mistakenly picks up a landline or mobile during dual ring in free Area775 is borderline fraud. You are praying on people's ignorance. That is predatory.
