Just got an email from Gizmo5 that the service will be shutdown next month.

I've been using it for total free calls using GoogleVoice forwarding to Gizmo5 number.

Is there another SIP that's free and reliable which accepts incoming calls for free and provides a US number?

This setup worked so flawlessly on the n900

Sipgate works for me. Incoming calls are free, outgoing is pretty cheap. Alternative is an incoming skype number. Again, not free, but pretty cheap.

sipgate is not accepting new users. Skype would be $8/month for line+service, from what I understand.

Really? Not even here? That's where I picked my free account.

Also. a skype-in number is $6 a month and even less if you buy a subscription.

I always had trouble with bad latency on sipgate calls. Did you have similar issues?

I might end up setting an asterisk server and use google talk (I use gizmo5 right now).

I just tried creating another account and I got this. Looks like a lot of gizmo5 folks are moving to sipgate?

Hmm I've never really tested this fully, but now that you mention it, maybe its time I tried. The major time lags for me have been when using skype.
