Just checked out the gizmo5 configuration page, it now has a Google Voice section where you can input your GV username and password. What this does is when you setup a VoIP application or phone with your Gizmo5 login information (make SURE you are using the 10+1 digit gizmo5 phone number to login, not the gizmo5 username), you get free outgoing calling! No more using a separate application or the web to call your gizmo5 number first with your GV #. Just pick a contact and call away. This is great news that gizmo5 and google are collaborating together. I forsee another google takeover soon (I hope).
I tested this with Siphon (iPhone app, from Cydia - free, allows calls over 3gedge) and was able to make outgoing calls right from the VoIP app - before I had to open GVMobile (separate app to call your Gizmo number first before placing the outgoing call), otherwise it would state "you have no gizmo5 outgoing credit, etc".
Steps: 1) Login to your gizmo5 (www.gizmo5.com) account page 2) enter your GV username and password 3) Go to your SIPVoipATA Device or application and enter the following: -Username: your 10+1 digit Gizmo5 number found on your Gizmo account page -Password: enter your password -Server: proxy01.sipphone.com If you don't have a Voip devicerouter, you can just download the gizmo5 software. 4) Login to GV and add your Gizmo5 number and verify it - pick up the call when you receive it and enter the verification code
DONE - free, easy to use outgoing and incoming calls with your GV number! Everything works great, when you call out, it shows your GV #, and when ppl call your GV #, it should ring your gizmo5 account!
You can also buy an ATA addon and hook up your landline phone to it and use the same settings! Been reading forums and it seems that the Linksys PAP2 NA is the recommended ATA: PAP2 NA on eBay
If youve never heard of gizmo5, they allow unlimited incoming calls. Now this is where Google Voice steps in and the magic happens, whenever you want to call someone via GV, it requires it to call your phone, and then use GV to call out - so basically every call incoming and outgoing, is really incoming. Gizmo5 just made it 100 times easier with this integration and now no callin is required to dial out.
Old Cumbersome Method: Gizmo + Gizmo + PAP2NA + Google Voice = Free Phone Service New Easy Method: GV + G5 + ATASIP softwareGizmo5 Software = Free Phone Service
This has gotten very popular within the past couple days and now there is a 20 minute call limit using GV + Gizmo5!
edit 2: looks like they pulled a bait and switch and now may limit calls to 3 minutes!

Reading through the Gizmo5 support forum, it looks like they're requiring an account to have a $10 CallOut balance to use this program for unlimited amounts of time. They have to make their money somehow.

HERE IS HOW TO SET IT UP IN A PAP2
once you have Both GV and G5 you just need to make sure you set the PAP2 with your Gizmo GIZMO PHONE NUMBER 1-747-251-XXXX (including the 1 at the beginning BUT without the Dashes so its 1747251XXXX) Not your Gizmo User NAME
BTW can i separate my GV account email from my Gmail account (like it was with Grand Central)
thank you thegreatfixer ======================== Beware: By using this service, you are giving Gizmo your gmail username & password. Think carefully about this: Do you trust them to be secure with this information?
======================== For those who has Sunrocket PAP2 adapter, try this thread for unlocking instructions. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21217660-Unlock-Broadvoice-Linksys-Spa2102-R Disclaimer: I have not tried it but will try this weekend.
======================== Beware of eBay's PAP2Ts (particularly from China/HK). They are fake and mostly fail after few months.
I am using Google Voice / Gizmo5 Softphone. When I call out from Google Website, Gizmo5 Softphone won't ring. It looks like Gizmo may block the free call out from Google Voice.

CheapCheap1 said:Many thnaks OP. Do you have any info on how to setup/configure Linksys-PAP2 for Gizmo?
Unfortunately, I just ordered one through eBay, so I dont know the specific way to get into the configuration pages. But it should be simple if youre PAP2 is unlocked and you can just enter the settings:
IP Settings
* Proxy Server (Host): proxy01.sipphone.com * Proxy Server (IP): 198.65.166.131 * Registration Server: proxy01.sipphone.com * SIP Port (UDP): 5060 * STUN Server: stun01.sipphone.com * STUN Port: 3478 * User ID: 17471115555 (replacing with your 1747) * Auth ID: 17471115555 (replacing with your 1747) * Password: (your gizmo5 password)

I've been using my GV account for free outbound calling for some time, but doing it through web callback was a little inconvenient. This full-blown marriage with Gizmo5 is great.
OK I've set it up but now every time I call a number from my Gizmo5 VOIP phone I get an immediate incoming callback from my GV #. Is this how it's supposed to work?
jaredulr said:ranova--you made my day! Thanks so much. If only I could get a guarantee that this would last, then I would get rid of my landline all together...
yea even making the GV # my main # makes me iffy, seems like a big money sink unless they implement ads and such.
