There were ways to do it, but it was cumbersome. This is sanctioned by GV and easy to set up.

Ah ok thanks for letting me know! Setting it up now Anyone Have a tutorial on setting this up? i added my gv to giz then what?

Free is always best, Thx OP
I think this is the best offering from Gizmo5. If you are into VOIP, take advantage of this offer for free calling in US. This thread doesn't deserve a thumbs down.

Quote from cnr1109 : Starting today you are able to configure an ATA using Google Voice and Gizmo5 to get free Voip calling. In other words, if you have a high speed connection, you can have a free home telephone line with inbound and outbound calling utilizing GV. Prior to today you needed some form of telephone service to utilize GV. Now you don't. http://www.google.com/support/for...1f83&hl=en http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r...mbers-area

More information on how to set this up.
Additional ATA adapter charge, so YMMV

Go to my.gizmo5.com and add your GVoice account.
Download Gizmo software and start calling. This is dope.

All I need is hookup my bluetooth to my PC and start calling for free. Who need a landline.

What about emergency calling? 911? My parents are getting up there in age, I would like to do this, but i'm afraid that calling 911 will not get them the help they would need.

Gizmo + Gizmo + PAP2NA + Google Voice = Free Phone Service

"I got it working again. It still works exactly the same way, to the end user, as it did before, but my configuration is a little different now. I have an extra step here that I don’t think should be necessary, but it still works, still doesn’t cost anything, so I am fine with it.

I couldn’t get the PAP2-NA to connect to Google Voice directly anymore, but I could still do it with the Gizmo Client. I think if I can do it with one, I should be able to do it with the other, but since I couldn’t I added a second Gizmo account to the equation.

I use the first Gizmo account to forward incoming SIP calls to my Google Voice number. I think any SIP account should do, but I already had a second Gizmo account, so I just used that.

I use the Second Gizmo account to call the first Gizmo account and to receive incoming calls from my Google Voice number. This is the account I have set up in the PAP2-NA. The first Gizmo account is not set up in the PAP2, it just exists for its forwarding duties.

Neither Gizmo account needs to be funded for this to work and the end result is free incoming calls, I would suppose anywhere in the world, and free outgoing calls to any US number.

Here is how to set it up.

On the first Gizmo project account, all you have to do is create an account and log into it at Gizmoproject.com. Then, set it up to forward to your Google Voice number. Once you log in it is pretty self explanatory, just select the SIP option and for the number use yourgv#@216.239.37.15:5061

When you call the SIP number of the Gizmo Project account, it will forward to the Google Voice account using SIP. SIP forwards in Gizmo Project are free of charge, so it costs nothing for the account and nothing for the call. SIP calls are free, so the call from the second account setup on the ATA is free too.

Now you need to set up your second Gizmo Project account in your pap2-NA. There are lots of guides on how to do this, it is just a standard setup. Basically,
1) Set your proxy to proxy01.sipphone.com
2) Set your Userid to your Gizmo Project number 1747*******
3) Set your password
4) I put my Google Voice number as my Display Name
I don’t think I really changed anything else.

Lastly, on the User1 Tab in the Speed Dial 2 field, I entered the SIP number of the first Gizmo account I set up.
1747Gizmosip1#

Save your settings.

Now you need to set up Google voice. Log in to your Google Voice account at »www.google.com/voice [google.com]

First, disable call screening. Select settings

Under the general tab, deselect the enable screening checkbox. What this does is make your incoming calls work like the normally would. When someone calls your Google Voice number, you just answer the phone.

Next, you need to make sure your Google Voice number is forwarded to the second Gizmo Project account.

Select the phone tab. Make an entry for your Gizmo Project account. The type will be Gizmo and the number will be 1747Gizmosip2#.

That’s it, you are all done.

Make sure your phone is plugged into your ATA.

Pick up your phone and listen for a dial tone.

dial 2# from your phone’s handset.
(This places a SIP call from The second Gizmo Project account to the first account, then the first account forwards that call to Google Voice via SIP. If anyone figures out how to do this directly from the ATA, let me know. I think it must be a configuration issue.)

When you hear ringing, hit *

Now you are in your Google Voice account

Enter your four digit security PIN

Press 2 to make a call

Enter the phone number you want to call followed by #

Wait for the person you called to answer. You just made a free call.

For free incoming calls, you don’t have to do anything. Whenever anyone calls your Google Voice number, the phone plugged into the ATA will ring. Just answer it."

tutorial please!

I've been doing this for about 2 months now, and it's worked great!

I live in Sacramento, CA and my wifes parents live in Melbourne, Australia.
I have a google voice account, is there any way to have them call a number
that rings down here without them having to pay international rates, or vice-versa
we call them without international rates? We drop like $50 a month on long distance
calls. Thank you ahead of time!
