The web interface will call directly from the web interface and talk directly from there. No phone required
You can use sip/ gizmo as a call back no. without having to use your phone minutes.

What is your experience with this setup? On my setup, some call quality is great, but sometimes I get drop outs or bad calls.

So there's not an way to use the browser to phone combination on the N900 without using a third party app and/or callback number?

Honestly, i don't have any problems. I also use it to make outgoing calls without a callback number.

I have been using Gizmo/Google Voice for a while now. It's amazing. Saves me some money. Call quality is acceptable and not worse than Skype.

Do you have a gizmo account? try www.gizmocall.com
I was able to make calls successfully, but the mic on my n900 dint pick up my voice :o . But it can be made to work, if we had to, right?

Sometime back, gizmo5 allowed users to use google voice for outgoing calls( they don't, anymore). I had done that, hence I can make outgoing calls using google voice without having a callback number. Only downside is, the call duration is limited to 3 minutes, but you can call as many times you want.

A gizmo account is a callback number.

You mean they don't register new users? I have a Gizmo account and can make outgoing calls through it. I didn't know there was a 3 minutes call limit. Is there a limit in receiving calls?

I don't think you quite got my question - but yes, I do have a Gizmo account. And I have a Google Voice account too - Grand Central before that.

I don't need a Gizmo account to use the Voice via Gmail though in the browser as they've currently rolled out. And if I recollect, you cannot get a Gizmo account if I didn't have one - signup has been stopped.

Therefore, my question stands. Can you fire up Microb, log into Gmail via Microb and make calls via Microb using Google Voice?
