GizmoCall Free VOIP Calls

GizmoGizmoCall is service like Skype (and the dozens of others), who offers free voice over IP calls to members. HeHe! I bet they really HATE being compared to Skype all the time :). The major distinguishing factor is that GizmoCall allows users to dial directly from their browser. Yep, all you need is your web browser and a microphone. No software download for this one. And guess who you can call? Other Gizmo users (of course), but also users of Google Talk, Windows Live and Yahoo Messenger users. But not Skype.

What may be considered the biggest drawback of GizmoCall is that call time is limited to 10 minutes a day. I say it may be considered the biggest drawback, as I think many people will LOVE using the time limit as an excuse. “Hey, I really have to go – my 10 minutes for today are up…” I like it. I like it a lot. Oh, I guess the biggest drawback for Mac or Linux users is that its only Windows compatible.

Like Skype, Version 3.0 also lets users exchange files with others, chat with multiple users at once, save chat history and create a custom avatar. When you’re sharing files and information and you forget to save something to your bookmarks or bloglines or del.ici.ous or whatever it is that you use, the chat history can be a real lifesaver.

GizmoCall can be used for other FREE calls as well.
