Re: Free calling from Gmail?

Closer to the original topic of this thread, here's a quote from Google:

Quote:

"We do not offer this feature on mobile browsers, and right now we have no plans to do so," Randall Sarafa, a spokesman for Mountain View, California-based Google, said yesterday. The company does offer Google Voice, a Web-based phone service that lets people associate themselves with a single phone number for inbound and outbound calls.

Of course, if you can get the full Gmail site (e.g., on your N900), this is not a problem for you. But I'm disappointed b/c the full Gmail site is slow on my N810. API to the rescue?

It's not the browser, it's the plugin they require.

Re: Free calling from Gmail?

Hey can you call your google voice number or your Gizmo SIP or any other SIP number from within Gmail call? I tried both on Fedora (after successfully installing the plugins) and on Windows, for some reason they both fail.

the caller id show the cleveland #

hmmm. what have you set your call-back # to in dialcentral? Mine was my t-mo #, and the minutes showed up in my t-mo log, counted against my limit. not free. Then I tried setting the call-back to my gvoice #, it was rejected. So i tried setting it to my old GizmoProjecxt #, bingo! That works, and it's a no-charge call in my Gizmo account. No t-mo minutes.
