even without them being on my GC address book.
not sure if thats the click2call feature....not even sure it was intended by GC.

There is no way to my knowledge to setup a VOIP (SIP) device where you can just pickup your phone and dial, which makes that an awkward solution at best. In other words GC is not a SIP provider. Places like Gizmo, FWD, IPKall etc. allow you to use standard SIP router and hook up your plain-old analog phone to it.

So at best, GC gives you free _local_ number that you can use for inbound calls. If you don't care for local part, Gizmo gives you free area 775 number that is reachable from POTS.
