If you can help me figure out what i can do to just use my tablet it would be a blessing... do i have to use all three programs or can i just use google talk?

thanks,

It shouldn't matter that your friend put your Skype number in. You can add or remove forwarding phones as often as you like.

Once your Google Voice account is set up, you should be able to log in from anywhere. Under "Settings" and "Phones," enter your Gizmo SIP number (the one that starts with 1747). Under phone type, make sure you have selected "Gizmo," otherwise this will not work.

I suggest testing this setup with the Gizmo client on your N810. In order to take calls, you have to leave it running in the background. Once you confirm that it works, you can try setting up your tablet's Internet Call client as described in "Part Two" of my tutorial.

Personally, I prefer the Internet Call client over Gizmo simply because it is lighter and isn't a resource hog when it is left running in the background. YMMV.

Let us know if this works for you.
