texrat, if you have an n810, you can press just press 1 on the keyboard (you might need to pres it twice if I remember correctly)

Ahhh... I was wondering about that earlier but forgot to try it, thanks pomokey. I hardly ever slide the thing out.

EDIT: eh, didn't work. Tried 1 press, 2 presses, with and without Fn key. Nada.

In the Gizmo5 taskbar there is a tab "Dialpad" pressing 1 a couple of times there works.

okay, I just messed around with it, you have to press and HOLD the fn key, then press 1.. twice... (holding down the fn key the entire time)

so it's not all that simple, but faster than navigating the menu

My ISP gives me 2 free phone numbers to use for SIP. Gizmo and Fring work for me even without STUN, but the build-in SIP client in Presence just doesn't want to work. After trying to call, immediately disconnected. It doesn't even work with STUN. It only works when I'm on a neighbor's WiFi. Then it works fine although laggy. I wonder what I'm doing wrong...? Gizmo and Fring are too Teletubby & proprietary for my liking.

I had huge problems such as you describe. I was using a Linksys WRT54G router. If you are using this router, that could explain it. Your neighbor's router might be a different make and model. This explains why you can use his network with success. The laggy behavior is probably due to distance (signal strength) or his downloading torrents (or streaming video) that you are unaware of.

Consider your router as the source of your problem.

My router works fine once I flashed it with aftermarket (non-linksys) firmware.

In that video, the guy shows his home phone, Sprint Cell phone, GrandCentral, Gizmo5 SIP numbers. I wonder how many crank calls he received before he changed all his numbers.

I think I read your post in the past mentioning the problem of the router. I am using a similar router, WRT54GS firmware v4.50.6, and it appears working fine.

Regarding his prank calls in the video, didnt he say he does not mind if it is lady's prank call? His video went a little too fast for me, I have to pause and review several times. This guide has it all type out.

Boy, you are quick! I read it and kind of wondering what kind of symptoms would I expect? I called and received calls, so far, appears fine. I know, mine is WRT54GS and wondering whether it is in the same boat as WRT54G. Thanks for digging out that post.
