Subscribe to PostsI posted recently about Google Voice. Recently an article on Lifehacker discussed using Gizmo5 in conjunction with Google Voice to make calls. I installed gizmo5 (a VOIP application) on my laptop and am now using it to make calls with Google Voice. I initiate the call from GV and have it ring my gizmo number. I’m not sure why the article specifies using gizmo. It seems like any VOIP app would provide the same functionality, but in any case I like it.
At some point in the future I believe I am likely to have a job requiring me to travel more often. I spend a lot of time on my computer (especially when I’m by myself) and while I can certainly call my wife on my cell phone, using VOIP (and of course Google Voice) to make calls on my laptop would be a nice convenience. Now if I can just figure out how to watch my own television across the internet…(more to come on that;) )
