Just a few newbie questions:

I'm currently using DialCentral 1.0.3

So first, the only way to make or receive a phone call is to have Gizmo active and running on my home computer, is this correct?

When I answer a call I can't hear anything until I slide the volume button a little even if it was already set to maximum. Am I missing an option so this doesn't occur?

I followed gogol's suggestion and went to this site https://www.google.com/voice/m/calle...r=+13606430304.

I unchecked my home phone number as a forwarding number so my only forwarding number is my Gizmo account. Is this also correct?

I'm asking because initially, Google Voice wouldn't allow me to remove my home phone number stating that at least one forwarding number needed to be a land line. How I was able to eventually remove it was by that link given above by gogol.

Lastly, if I open up DialCentral and call my home phone at (517) 272-xxxx, the only thing that happens is that I'm calling my Tablet on my Tablet. My house phone doesn't ring.

I guess I'm not understanding the whole concept behind internet calling.

Isn't there a way to make my Google Voice number exclusive like a cell phone and not paired up to my home phone number?

In DialCentral I think I have the correct account settings and they are:
Grand Central number - using number given to me by Google Voice
Callback Number- using number given to me by Gizmo

In the Google Voice webpage I'm using for my Default Forwarding Settings:
Home phone number - unchecked
Gizmo number - checked.

I thought I have everything correctly set up so what am I not understanding here?

Thanks.
