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.

Complete tutorial with pictures available from www.exoticpages.info



In a nutshell, the solution below requires that you provide your Google email credentials to Gizmo5 in order to make the connection to Google Voice for free (unlimited...expired) (20-minute...expired) 3-minute calling. However, if you do not want to be limited by the three minute call limit, you of course have the option to pay for the service and the call duration limitation will be lifted.

Details of the program are available from the Gizmo Project (aka "Gizmo5") directly . . . it is highly suggested you give their site a read due to the constant change in terms, conditions, and other program details. The direct link is available here:

http://www.gizmovoice.com/

FYI, you may sign-up for the paid version of the service here (as of 8/16/2009 new account sign-ups qualify for a free $10 account credit):

"Newly discovered issues with both security and Gizmo5's business model as pertains to making calls through Google Voice have given us pause in recommending the solution described below.

Party is over. To protect the security & integrity of your Google Account, it may be prudent to consider changing your Google password.

iPhone App Siphon + Gizmo5 + Google Voice Instructions (http://www.voicetalk.org/2009/08/08/siphon-google-voice-gizmo5-iphone-app-calls/)

Alternative Experimental Method (by az1324) -- GVOut

This method requires a networked computer to be running anytime you want to use the phone.

Screenshot http://a2.slickdeals.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=240843&d=1249185949

Here's a little new toy I whipped up that lets you dial out using google voice in combination with one of the free incoming SIP services. It is a small Windows program. This is experimental and I can't guarantee it will work with your setup.


It acts as a proxy for your ATA connection to the SIP server. When you dial out via phone, you get an immediate busy signal. Then hang up and with a few seconds your phone will ring with the incoming connection from GV. Pick it up and your call is connected. It's not an ideal solution but works ok and is more convenient than using a web dialer etc... and its incoming so no 3 minute time limit.

Enter the SIP Server of your free incoming service (gizmo5, sipgate) then enter the phone number associated with that account (must be in your GV account too).

Enjoy.


Discussion and file here (http://www.magicjacksupport.com/new-toy-gvout-google-voice-outgoing-proxy-dialer-windows-t7191.html).

This Wiki is crazy confusing, read through the thread to learn how to configure.

Look no further, Gizmo5 is redirecting you to this site for a clean setup and no surprise, it is called gizmovoice (http://www.gizmovoice.com/). Also be aware that now outbound call is limited to 20 min per call.
Update: Users report that now outbound call is limited to 3 min per call.


FYI: If you cannot wait for an invite, they are around $2-3 on eBay.

Details:
Just checked out the gizmo5 configuration page, it now has a Google Voice section where you can input your GV username and password. What this does is when you setup a VoIP application or phone with your Gizmo5 login information (make SURE you are using the 10+1 digit gizmo5 phone number to login, not the gizmo5 username), you get free outgoing calling (direct dial)! No more using a separate application or the web to call your gizmo5 number first with your GV #. Just pick a contact and call away. This is great news that gizmo5 and google are collaborating together. I forsee another google takeover soon (I hope).

I tested this with Siphon (iPhone app, from Cydia - free, allows calls over 3gedge) and was able to make outgoing calls right from the VoIP app - before I had to open GVMobile (separate app to call your Gizmo number first before placing the outgoing call), otherwise it would state "you have no gizmo5 outgoing credit, etc".

Works perfectly with Sipdroid for all android phones, must install the version off there site http://sipdroid.org/ if you want to utilitize 3G/Edge calling, if not the version on the market uses Wlan and works just as well. Use setting below

Steps:
1) Login to your gizmo5 (www.gizmo5.com) account page
2) enter your GV username and password
3) Go to your SIPVoip Deviceapplication and enter the following: (or just download the gizmo5 application)
-Username: your 1+10 digit Gizmo5 number found on your Gizmo account page
-Password: enter your password
-Server: proxy01.sipphone.com
4) Login to GV and add your Gizmo5 number and verify it - pick up the call when you receive it and enter the verification code

DONE - free, easy to use outgoing and incoming calls with your GV number! Everything works great, when you call out, it shows your GV #, and when ppl call your GV #, it should ring your gizmo5 account!

You can also buy an ATA addon and hook up your landline phone to it and use the same settings! Been reading forums and it seems that the Linksys PAP2 NA is the recommended ATA: http://cgi.ebay.com/LINKSYS-PAP2-NA-SIP-VOIP-Phone-Adapter-2-Port-UNLOCKED_W0QQitemZ130305904604QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e56d64fdc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1234|293%3A1|294%3A50 (But be careful with ebay PAP2's as listed above. High rate of defects.As reported by many on DSL Reports (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adslreports.com+hong+kong+pap2&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t))

If you've never heard of gizmo5, they allow unlimited incoming calls. Now this is where Google Voice steps in and the magic happens, whenever you want to call someone via GV, it requires it to call your phone, and then use GV to call out - so basically every call incoming and outgoing, is really incoming. Gizmo5 just made it 100 times easier with this integration and now no callin is required to dial out.

------

see screenshot for gizmo account page w/the google voice option

Also there is an Error in regards to "landline" description for the ATA. I believe the person means your POTS phones with the FXS port. FXO is to connect to the CO landline. The Linksys SPA-3102 will do this. $69.98 at Amazon. This way you can still have your Telco line come into the device for everyone that has your landline number, and call route out VoIP for outgoing Calls

For iPhone Users:

Be sure NOT to use Nimbuzz if using iphone. It is not able to verify your GV account link to gizmo since you cannot dial the code GV gives you (there is no dialpad). Also, I was unable to call out using Nimbuzz - dialing out did nothing other than it pretending to call out. I was able to receive incoming calls though.

Siphon from Cydia worked flawlessly.

Fring for iPhone seems to work also, and has Push notifications so that the app doesn't have to be open for you to receive a call.

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 :P 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.

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.

"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 (http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=1471803&u2=http://www.google.com/voice) [google.com (http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=1471803&u2=http://www.google.com/voice)]

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.

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



Long, hard tutorial

Pretty sure the new addition of GV into gizmo (which was done in the past few days) gets rid of the need for any of that.

Just checked out the gizmo5 configuration page, it now has a Google Voice section where you can input your GV username and password. What this does is when you setup a VoIP application or phone with your Gizmo5 login information (make SURE you are using the 10+1 digit gizmo5 phone number to login, not the gizmo5 username), you get free outgoing calling!

Caller ID shows your GV #, and when people call it back, it should ring your gizmo5 (make sure you add it to the GV setup page).

any deals on how to use it..........i don't get it

how can i get GV? i've been on the waiting list for a long time

Let me ask, I need an incoming number to forward to Skype. I currently have a number from IPKall forwarding to Gizmo. The problem is it treats it as an OpenSky call. The call quality is pretty horrible, and the call cuts off in 3 to 5 minutes. I also can't seem to figure out how to set the voicemail correctly. Is this a viable alternative to that setup? I just need incoming calls to work, with some semblence of voicemail.

How do I verify my gizmo number in google voice? My gizmo says incoming calls cost money to sign up for.

Thanks! sorry new to gizmo

do i need to leave computer on for this thing
or it can used with regular phone like viatalk, ooma
i have a spare linksys PAP phone adapter
TIA

Super easy to set up. But the person I called said they were getting an echo. I just got gizmo for this so I've got an n of 1 - not a large sample size. But does anyone know if this is a general problem with gizmo?

Is there any app on Iphone for this ?

Yeah what he (Godrockdj) said above me.... :)

Consider me a newbie on this end, been using GV for awhile. Where can I learn more about connecting Gizmo5 to compatible in-home handsets? Or can anyone rec a good handset and share how they use it in their home as a traditional phone?

Use skype, or some other voip. This would probably work too.

no google voice here

time to dust out that old hackable pap2.

nice find...but I personally think the Ooma is better regardless of paying the $200 or so initial fee. Works hellalot better.

i signed up and it's in demo mode. Asks me to buy credit. how is it free/

Thx OP!

to verify my gizmo number in google voice though it wants to call it, how do I get around this?

add your gizmo5 # to GV, and open up either the gizmo5 application or your SIP\voip software\hardware and get ready for the call.

Sorry, I cannot get this part. When you say "SIP\Voip Device\application", what're they?

either download the gizmo5 software or use your own SIP\VOIP software\hardware (Im using the siphon app on the iPhone)

im on the same boat as most ppl here...
i have a GV# any step by step directions that are dummy proof?

1) Login to your gizmo5 account page
2) enter your GV username and password
3) Go to your SIP\Voip Device\application and enter the following:
-Username: your 10+1 digit Gizmo5 number found on your Gizmo account page
-Password: enter your password
-Server: proxy01.sipphone.com
4) Login to GV and add your Gizmo5 number and verify it - pick up the call when you receive it and enter the verification code

DONE - free, easy to use outgoing and incoming calls with your GV number! Everything works great, when you call out, it shows your GV #, and when ppl call your GV #, it should ring your gizmo5 account!

I tested this with Siphon (iPhone app, from Cydia - free, allows calls over 3g\edge) and was able to make outgoing calls right from the VoIP app - before I had to open GVMobile (separate app to call your Gizmo number first before placing the outgoing call), otherwise it would state "you have no gizmo5 outgoing credit, etc".

Can someone give me Google voice invitation??

i need a google voice invitation too. so outgoing call is not free/

I have gv and gizmo5 connected now. I would just like to have some recommendation for a ATA device. I prefer inexpensive, but it needs to work.

Thanks.

nice I got it working with siphone on my iphone, so i can make outgoing calls. one problem though, it looks like I can only get incoming calls when i have the sipphone open. i assume there is no way around this right? other than have it also ring my cell number so that if i dont have the app open or have data coverage, i can still get the call, right?

Try to look for a sunrocket ATA on ebay, you might be able to get one for cheap unless other SDrs fight over it.

again any one with explanation
thanks

Works great, gave it a test run and made an outgoing call from my PC!

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!

Why not buy them a MagicJack if they absolutely need to call USA numbers? Otherwise, you could use a service like Skype or Google Chat (with voice). I've used MagicJack since January and I'd say it works well. I'm going to take it with me when I move overseas so that people can call me.

I have gv and gizmo5 connected now. I would just like to have some recommendation for a ATA device. I prefer inexpensive, but it needs to work.

If you want something that works, just by a -NA version from eBay of the PAP2/PAP2T. -NA is a hacked version that is not tied to any provider. Make sure the seller is reliable. I hacked one but it was more time than I would have wanted to spend on it - although a great learning experience.

Linksys/Sipura SPA-3102, 2102 are excellent and reliable.

D-Link models are crappy and unreliable, but can work (I have a VTA ex-Vonage model myself). The VWR includes a wireless router also, but again, very bad firmware and poor reliability.

There are others too, but again if you prefer inexpensive, you should be able to get one of the above for $50 or so.

download backgrounder from cydia, then hold down home button when you are in siphon and it will put it in the background, you can receive calls no problem even when your phone is asleep - make sure you turn on voice over 3g\edge in the siphon settings

Here is what happened guys. I signed up for a new G5 account after getting my GV number using the same email address, lo and behold the last 5 digits of my G5 account number are exactlt the same as my GV account. There is no way this is a coincidence. I think Google has a stake in G5 and will not be surprised if they buy it.

Example GV xxxxxx12345
G5 1747yy12345

Did any of you have the same experience?

haha I think it is a coincidence, but I really hope google buys gizmo5

Can I just use the Gizmo5 software to make and receive calls for free? or I must have a Voip device?

also can someone please make a completely newbie guide for us? I registered Gizmo5 and got a 747 number, I try to call that number with my home phone, but it seems the # does not exists.

Do you have a google voice number?

Anyone know if there is a Gizmo5 app for iphone/blackberry?

Anyone know if there is a Gizmo5 app for iphone/blackberry?

you just need a VOIP app, the best one is Siphon, which is free on Cydia (requires jailbreaking) and allows calls over 3g\edge. Combine that with backgrounder, its awesome!

I got an issue here. I followed the instructions on the Wiki completely. I can receive incoming calls just fine, but my problem is with outgoing calls. When I use Gizmo5 to place an outgoing call to my GV number, all I get is continuous ringing. Nothing picks up. My cell phone which is also connected to my GV number can get a response just fine from GV when I place an outgoing call to it. So why doesn't my gizmo5 application get a response? Thanks in advanced.

i think the part most people don't get (including me) is whether we need a sip/voip/ata device or whether we can just use a computer. I have a google voice account, i downloaded gizmo5.
i don't see anywhere in gizmo5 that i can enter my google voice account information?
what am i missing..thanks for your help


ok, fyi looks like...you have to enter your gizmo number in google voice not the other way around..

Old Cumbersome Method: Gizmo + Gizmo + PAP2NA + Google Voice = Free Phone Service
New Easy Method: GV + G5 + ATA = Free Phone Service


ATA recommendation: Linksys PAP2NA (Ebay, etc...)

You have to go to your gizmo account online. You enter the info there. According to the instructions you enter your numbers in both places (gizmo# in GV and GV# in gizmo)

Do you have a google voice number?

I do have a GV #

I'm still impatiently waiting on a Google Voice invite... Taking forever, c'mon Google, hook me up! :(

You can use a computer, Gizmo5's own softphone will work, or any other standard SIP capable softphone(X-Lite, eyebeam, siphone...), an ATA will elimate the need of computer and give you the experience of a regular phone.

The GV account info. is entered on Gizmo5's web portal at http://my.gizmo5.com, not the softphone.

nice siphone doesn't use a lot of ram, i was worried about leaving it in the background since I dont have a 3gs with tons of ram :(
Thanks!

I want to get this to work but I can't get my damn Gizmo5 service to work with decent sound quality...have Linksys PAP2T-NA. I've had Vonage for years and the sound is fine, so I know it's not my bandwidth that's the problem...1Mps down/512kbps for that. Does anyone have any idea how to tweak settings to get better sound???

The PAP2s from HK/China are known to be problematic, please read:

try to forward the Gizmo5 to another VoSP, like Callcentric/Future-Nine or even directly to your own ATA

You have to go to your gizmo account online. You enter the info there. According to the instructions you enter your numbers in both places (gizmo# in GV and GV# in gizmo)I thought that you use your gmail email account and password as the username and password in the Gizmo5 setup.

thanks - do i really need to enter my google voice password for this to work (what do they do with it?) - seems a little insecure to give my password..

I've been using Grand Central / Google Voice for free VOIP ever since SunRocket VOIP went under and didn't pay me what was left of my subscription. I use the old SunRocket device as my VOIP equipment for the free setup when I need a landline at home. Works great for all these years.

you just need a VOIP app, the best one is Siphon, which is free on Cydia (requires jailbreaking) and allows calls over 3g\edge. Combine that with backgrounder, its awesome!

This works fine, but does running Siphon in the background eat up your battery like no other?

I'm still impatiently waiting on a Google Voice invite... Taking forever, c'mon Google, hook me up! :(

I thought they sent everyone on the waiting list invites on July 15.

I do have a GV #

Log in to Gizmo5
Make note of your 1747... number
In the Google voice section enter your GV email address and password and save.

If you have an ATA: Change user settings to have your 1747.. number as the user id and enter your Gizmo password in the password part. The sip server should be the Gizmo5 sip server I think: proxy01.sipphone.com:5060
If you are having difficulty hearing audio when receiving calls you might want to use STUN server: stun01.sipphone.com:3478

Plug in your ATA

Log in to your GV account
In the settings --phone section enter your Gizmo5 1747... number you made note of above
Select Gizmo from the drop down box and save (This for incoming)

After verifying you will be able to answer using the ATA.
And you should be all set now to make outgoing calls and receive incoming too. If you are still having problems IM me and I'll give you more detailed instructions.

can i call outside US phone?

tried it with unlocked sunrocket 6011 device, didn't verify won't work.

can someone invite me to google voice - kapsalis@gmail.com thanx

So does this service mean I can drop my voip phoneline,which is cheap already, and just use this for free instead?

I am in google voice and added my gizmo5 number but it says needs to be verified

I get

Verify your PhoneThis phone must be verified before it can receive calls from Google Voice.

Google Voice will call your phone and prompt you to enter the following code:


But my gizmo5 doesnt receive incoming calls... because I dont want to pay for that feature..

So I can never verify?

edit - never mind, thanks guys got it, for some reason it wasn't dialing it at all before, I think the service was maybe overloaded and it just said that no one picked up basically. Rang through now though!

When I try to call from the web site or Android SIPDroid App, it asks me to purchase Gizmo minute but it works fine with Gizmo softphone. Any ideas?:bulb:

You do need to have your computer ON to make outgoing call...Right?

fas far as i understand, if you have a ata hardware, the computer does not have to be on.

surprisingly, the battery life is basically the same, because it just sits idle without using CPU, I dont think it uses much or any data while sitting idlely

The first phone# on GV has to be a real PSTN#(you can get a free one at www.ipkall.com, then forward it to your Gizmo5 sip uri), then you can add a gizmo5# on GV, make sure to select phone type as Gizmo5.

tried it with unlocked sunrocket 6011 device, didn't verify won't work.

I followed the tutorial, gizmo5 number as name and my password, set sip server to: proxy01.sipphone.com, port: 5060

but still says no line, and unable to verify.

Are you connecting it directly to the internet or behind a router/firewall? Try removing the :5060 from after the sip server and add it to the port field if you have one.

i don't have google voice yet so i can't make a move on this thread just yet...in the meanwhile i would like to know what the international rates would be for this? could you theoretically avoid international rates? i know skype to skype and all that other voip to voip is free but ii want to know about calling mobiles and landlines in foreign countries...

HERE IS HOW TO SET IT UP IN A PAP2

you just need to change the PAP2 from your Gizmo USER NAME to your GIZMO PHONE NUMBER 1-747-251-XXXX (including the 1 at the beginning BUT NO - so its 1747251XXXX) Very Happy

now i need to add all my contacts into my phone never needed to do that before when i was calling from GV

BTW can i separate my GV account email from my Gmail account (like it was with Grand Central)

GV and Gizmo together is definitely great, but it's not new. You could always set up Google Voice with Gizmo simply by getting your V number from your Gizmo profile. It's preferable to Skype which 1) charges you for a number to forward GV to (30 to 60 bucks a year), and 2) Charges for the incoming calls.

Call from Google voice to Gizmo windows client for verify doesnt seem to work. i am using windows 7. may be thats why? i installed in compatibility mode. please someone confirm that the IM client work with other Windows versions...

but could you make outgoing calls directly from Gizmo?

fails with an error message that there is no audio device available for the incoming call (when i am dialing a number from the gizmo softphone) - i think this is because google is calling back my gizmo number, right? - do i need to kill the outgoing call?

Call from Google voice to Gizmo windows client for verify doesnt seem to work. i am using windows 7. may be thats why? i installed in compatibility mode. please someone confirm that the IM client work with other Windows versions...
I had the same issue - I installed in xp compatibility mode, but then you also have to run it in xp compatibility mode (I just right-clicked the desktop shortcut for Gizmo, properties, xp compatibility)

router. should I connect it directly?

Try it and see if it works. If it does you will have to open the port on your router. Did you enter the G5 number like 1747xxxxxxx without dashes or anything of that sort?

um are yuo sure? im pretty sure everyone was doing this years ago? maybe im wrong?

You're right. It's been trivial to do this for years. What was cumbersome about it OP? You just type in a SIP number instead of a real phone number.

I hate to ask this: but what if I don't have a gizmo5 account yet, do I need to sign up for an account and pay for certain subscription first? I know it's probably a dumb question, but I have never done any of this, and really need to know how to get started from scratch. Thanks a lot!

nope signing up and unlimited incoming is free: www.gizmo5.com

there're paid services on Gizmo5, but for our needs, the free plan works fine.

Is anyone able to send out an invitation to GV, or is this something GV sends out? Please help.

what is the difference between this and using google voice's own app for phones? I know they don't have one for iphones but grandcentral did have it. I use to be able to make free calls and get free calls with that. I am still waiting for an iphone version of the app for google voice.

Is anyone able to send out an invitation to GV, or is this something GV sends out? Please help.

Right now, Google is the only one that sends out invites. There isn't anyway for a GV user to send out an invite, they must come from Google.

Okay, wow I am a n00b with this Gizmo5 software.

I can't even get incoming calls to work. I dial my 747 SIP number listed in my "Account Overview" section with my regular land line, but I get an automated response: "The number or code you dialed is incorrect..."

What step am I missing?

Is anyone able to send out an invitation to GV, or is this something GV sends out? Please help.

Go to https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/ and enter your information. They will send you an invite when your turn comes. they are sending them fairly quickly now.

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.

Hello? I have a unlocked sunrocket voipphone, what should I put in the "outgoing proxy address?" default is 0.0.0.0

You can not dial your 1747.. number directly from your phone. This is a Gizmo5 sip number not a DID number. That's where GV comes in. GV is a DID number that you can call from any regular phone. You use Google voice to forward to Gizmo5.

I have been using this setup(google voice+ gizmo+ pap2 ) for some time. but using website to make outgoing calls. Just realized today that there is google voice section in the gizmo from this thread.

I did input my GV account/pwd in gizmo .but when i make a call, it still using my gizmo funds. :mad:

PAP2T-NA from ebay. The ones from Hong Kong as in the wiki has a high rate of failure. Checkout DSL Reports, there are many threads about it.

I suggest the SPA-3102 from Linksys (Sipura) for a bit more. $69.98 at Amazon, it has both FXS and FXO. Which means if you have a landline you can setup call routing from your landline too.

Hello? I have a unlocked sunrocket voipphone, what should I put in the "outgoing proxy address?" default is 0.0.0.0

somebody help?

Hello? I have a unlocked sunrocket voipphone, what should I put in the "outgoing proxy address?" default is 0.0.0.0

Do not use an outgoing proxy server. I have a Sunrocket ATA too the MTA one though not like yours.

I have a motorola adapter from my old vonage account. Can I use it instead of buying new voip adapter?

:O makes sense.

So I added my 1747 number to GV, but my Gizmo5 software never rings or does anything when Google attempts to verify the number.

I have a motorola adapter from my old vonage account. Can I use it instead of buying new voip adapter?

Unfortunately, the Moto adapters are locked to Vonage, and virtually impossible to unlock and reuse. The general consensus at last check is not to bother, it's not worth the effort.

Awesome, works great!

Now my sunrocket ata doesn't say no line, but can't receive/make calls. weird... about to give up.

when I launch the desktop gizmo software, it works flawless,just can't get this stupid ATS sunrocket piece of crap...

i just found out about google voice. anyway for me to get an invite from you guys? thanks

I also need help verifying the Gizmo5 number. I'm using a G1 and the SIPDroid app. I followed these instructions:

1) Login to your gizmo5 account page
2) enter your GV username and password
3) Go to your SIP\Voip Device\application and enter the following:
-Username: your 10+1 digit Gizmo5 number found on your Gizmo account page
-Password: enter your password
-Server: proxy01.sipphone.com
4) Login to GV and add your Gizmo5 number and verify it

I've logged in to GV and added the number but how do I verify it? That is, when I click verify, where do I go or what do I do to answer the call? My G1 doesn't ring. In spite of that, when I make outgoing calls with Wifi enabled and the SIPDroid app running (and Google Voice turned off), it works (my number shows up as my GV #).

Works fine on Grandstream HT-286. I also have a line from CallCentric... guess I need to get Asterisk up and going.

I just signed up for a Gizmo5 account, downloaded/installed the Gizmo5 app, and have it open and running. When I dial my gizmo number from my cell, it tells me that the number is not valid.

Does it take a day or two for Gizmo to "activate" your number, or is there some setting that I should modify on the Gizmo website?

this is great..!!

You don't call your Gizmo number, call your GV number, which forwards to your gizmo number.

question: If I just want a simple number for people to call and leave a message, is google voice for me? thanks

NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN A SET OF DIRECTION.......... that is just a shame

Right now, Google is the only one that sends out invites. There isn't anyway for a GV user to send out an invite, they must come from Google.

Thanks. I'll just wait...

question: If I just want a simple number for people to call and leave a message, is google voice for me? thanks

unrelated. but yes, you are correct.

I have a Linksys RT31P2, will this work? I assume it will, but I need to find it first, got rid of Vonage 2 years ago after realizing I never used it. I got my Gizmo 5 number, so can I put that in the router and test the inbound? and once I get the GV accepted I can try outbound. Also, is this US only, or will I be able to make international calls?

NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN A SET OF DIRECTION.......... that is just a shame

Umm, read the wiki............:shake:

works perfectly! thanks OP!!

unrelated. but yes, you are correct.

thanks and since google voice is by invite only right now..is there another free service that gives me a local number and I can give it to people so they can leave a voicemail for me?

thanks

Now my sunrocket ata doesn't say no line, but can't receive/make calls. weird... about to give up.

Do not give up:shake: You are close! I checked my settings on my MTA. Do not put the :5060 after the SIP server. I remeber now that this drove me crazy until I figured it out. So remove the :5060 from the SIP server. And add 5060 without the ":" in the SIP input signaling port if you have one. I wish I had the exact same model as you do, I would have been able to be of more help. But hey, no fret, we will figure it out if you do not give up.

You don't call your Gizmo number, call your GV number, which forwards to your gizmo number.

Ahh, so I shouldn't be able to call it directly... I get it, thanks for the clarification.

So now to the next problem: I added my Gizmo number as a "Gizmo" number to GV, but when I try to verify the number, my Gizmo5 app won't ring. Any thoughts?

How long does it take on average for GV to send out an invite?

it took a few tries, but keep trying. Assuming, you have downloaded the desktop version.

How long does it take on average for GV to send out an invite?

For me it was 1 week, I got my invite on Friday.

How long does it take on average for GV to send out an invite?

They send out invite in batches, I got mine in 2 weeks, hear some got their in 1 week.

it took a few tries, but keep trying. Assuming, you have downloaded the desktop version.

OK, so this is just the normal "GV is lagging" problem. Thanks!

how's the call quality guys? compare to Ooma?

I have the exact same problem. My Gizmo5 app doesn't do anything when GV tries to verify the 747 number.

Great!
Work perfectly on my linksys PAP2 adapter!

no idea what ATA is but I've been using GV + Gizmo5 for free US long distance for some time. just pluged a headset into my laptop and was good to go.

is there some new info here? VOIP, ATA etc, no idea what you are talking about. i just know i get free US long distance with gv + gizmo5.

only thing is headset plugged into laptop.

would be nice if i could use an actual phone. i dont leave my computer on so i use it for outgoing only. no special routers or modem right now.

ccengineer you got pm!

I had the same issue - I installed in xp compatibility mode, but then you also have to run it in xp compatibility mode (I just right-clicked the desktop shortcut for Gizmo, properties, xp compatibility)
Thanks for the reply, I tried it and runs fine. But when I try to verify from Google Voice, it still doesnt ring the Gizmo5 client. :-( wht am i doing wrong?

I have the old setup (btw, it was a pain to setup)
Anyways, can anyone explain the "free outgoing"?
How is it free? What is the limit? is it only free to USA calls? how about Canada?

I mainly call Canada with my magicjack right now.
If this is free to Canada, I wont renew my magicjack.

Thanks

OK, so this is just the normal "GV is lagging" problem. Thanks!

Actually it wasn't the lagging problem for me... I didn't have a microphone/headset device plugged in, so the Gizmo5 app rejected the call.

All set now.

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!

Your best bet is for them to use this setup. This way they will have an US phone # in AU

Thanks for the reply, I tried it and runs fine. But when I try to verify from Google Voice, it still doesnt ring the Gizmo5 client. :-( wht am i doing wrong?

Got a microphone/headset plugged in? I ran into this problem.

Charging for calls to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada was one of the big changes from Grand Central to Google Voice. It has made the service unappealing to some who live in or regularly call those areas.

works great on my siphon software on my iphone. thanks!

I have a TMobile Hotspot @Home service, can I get that Linksys router unlocked and use to hook up my landline for this gizmo & GV to work?

Works perfectly with Sipdroid for all android phones, must install the version off there site sipandroid.org if you want to utilitize 3G/Edge calling, if not the version on the market uses Wlan

Thanks OP.

Pap2 (the old flashed vonage one) + GV + Gizmo works great!

EDIT :

Here's what I did :

Signed up for Gizmo5, went to MY and added my google voice to the configuration.
Went to google voice, added the Gizmo # to my phone numbers.

Signed into my PAP2, went to LINE2, went to Advanced.

Settings are :

Proxy : proxy01.sipphone.com
Outbound Proxy : proxy01.sipphone.com
User ID and Auth ID = your 1747 Number
password = your gizmo 5 password.


Outgoing calls show my GV caller ID.

Sweet!

Can anyone tell me how to do this on android? Thanks.

For $4.00 per month on ATT, I get free LD. It's a lot easier.

Anyone getting this message from gizmo5 after entering google voice credentials:

"We couldn't identify your Google Voice number. Please check your email/password again."

Of course, I checked and triple checked my GV username and password. Also tried the email address on my google voice, all to no avail.

Thanks OP.

Go to the following and download the app for android: http://www.google.com/mobile/products/voice.html#p=default

Can anyone tell me how to do this on android? Thanks.

I know you are new, but learn to read the wiki. To get full advantage of Gizmo5 and GV, you need to download sipdroid, which can be found at sipdroid.org. Course, if you learn to read the wiki, you would not need to ask these questions. I will however just past the instructions here..

Works perfectly with Sipdroid for all android phones, must install the version off there site http://sipdroid.org/ if you want to utilitize 3G/Edge calling, if not the version on the market uses Wlan and works just as well. Use setting below

Steps:
1) Login to your gizmo5 (www.gizmo5.com) account page
2) enter your GV username and password
3) Go to your SIPVoip Device application and enter the following:
-Username: your 10+1 digit Gizmo5 number found on your Gizmo account page
-Password: enter your password
-Server: proxy01.sipphone.com (both "Proxy" and "Outbound proxy" for some)

This allows all outgoing and incoming calls to use 3G or Edge and use your GV number. 0 minutes are used.

i dont know what other people think about this
but when you provide gizmo 5 with your GV account, my GV account is tied to my personal gmail also. so i just gave away my personal information.... along with my google checkout credit card

if anyone knows what the privacy policy or the credentials of gizmo please share or pm me

Tis why I just added another email account to google, and used that email as my log in.

can you change the email that GV logs into?

just got this all set up on my nokia E71, works like a charm. Thanks OP and all who contributed.

oh i see what you did thanks

Anybody get the following message when trying to enter your GV info into Gizmo?

"We couldn't identify your Google Voice number. Please check your email/password again."

I'm positive the username=email and password are correct but no matter what keeps returning the same error. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

try using your user id only and not the @gmail.com

If anyone is trying to work this with Sunrocket ATS 6011S device, I can help with unlocking and configuring it! just pm me.

thank you OP. I was about to buy OOMA. With this, you saved me $200. thanks.

Thank you OP for the heads up on the Google Voice + Gizmo 5 setup. Had the G5 application up and running on my laptop, then connected to my GV, in 5 minutes.

This setup should allow me to drop Skype In and my Skype online number, and save some coin. Pay VOiP providers should be shaking in their boots considering how easy this is to set up.

Worked like a charm

yes, me too - not sure whats up but cannot get it to take it - this is an old acct used to be grandcentral, if that makes any difference

sorry for the dumb question, but i am new to GV and Gizmo.

After setting up these, now i can make outgoing calls, but when incoming call, all i get is some voice asking me accept the call by pressing 1..... and the caller just goes to voicemail?

Outgoing calls are fine.

Thx.

Dug out my old sunrocket gizmo (Innomedia MTA6328-2Re), configured it using these instructions (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19937952-Innomedia-ATA-Gizmo-Project-Grand-Central)
& was able to place and receive calls via my google voice nbr using a 'landline'.
Free calls without booting up the pc.
I've been using quantumvoice since sunrocket died with good service, but this may replace it.

Can you port numbers to google voice?

I own a Linksys PAP2 from Vonage (like 4 years ago). Are there clear instructions somewhere that explain how to unlock and use with GV and Gizmo? I know I looked a couple years ago and it was fairly complicated.

Thanks in advance.

How do you make outgoing calls from your PC using Gizmo5/GV? I understand how receiving calls work.

Does everyone here already have a GV account? It says that new accounts are by invite only!!

Everything works fine except that everytime i try to use the Gizmo5 software on my computer it freezes up, my computer is most definitely fast enough for it, don't understand why it freezes up everytime, anyone else have this problem?

Awesome concept cannot wait to figure it out.

Where is the top-secret guides to unlocking pap2s?

Specifically, pap2t-na?

Was over on dslreports and found some info but, sketchy at best.

I have a pap2t-na from either vonage or maybe even viatalk..cant recall.

Would be nice to get a handle on this ata and see if I can get into it and make this work.

delete

got it workin perfect one question though.. what the best iphone app that integrates this with push. that way my phone rings when im not on the app. Thanx.. So far I tried fring with no luck

what's the advantage or use of gizmo5? I'm not stupid...
you can't call out w/ GV

Can you port numbers to google voice?

Not as of yet, perhaps in the future.

try using your user id only and not the @gmail.com


I tried that too. Not sure why it is not registering in Gizmo5. Even tried logging off of GV first. Even capitalized the first character of my userid as it appears at the top of the GV page. Tried IE and turning off popup blockers. Still the same error. Did anyone else even get that error message?

Can this be used for free fax in US?

How do you make outgoing calls from your PC using Gizmo5/GV? I understand how receiving calls work.

You signup for a GV invite and wait.
Sign up for Gizmo5 (Make note of teh 1747.. number)
When you get the Google invite and you signup you will get to choose a phone number.
In the Google account info after you add a main phone number you can add your Gizmo 1747... number to the phones on the phone settings page and use Gizmo5 from the type of phone drop down box. After you do that you have to be logged in to G5 and GV will call you to verify (this is for incoming)
On Gizmo5 setting page there is a section for Google voice, add your GV email address and password and choose make calls to us (or something like that) radio button.
Save.

Now you will have both unlimited Incoming/Outgoing calls to the USA for free.

In your Google voice setup page Settings/General adjust Call Screening: either disable it all together or choose Screen only blocked callers.

This is awesome. I tried out Skype but soon cancelled my $2.99 unlimited outbound to landlines when I found out that Skype doesn't allow for authentication of Google Voice numbers for their Caller ID.

does this not work with touch pro? I don't see HTC on their list of phone manufacturers??

Got everything setup. Can make outgoing calls. But when trying to verify my Gizmo5 number in GV, never get a call. I used software and also my old PAP2 (each one separaetly). Outgoing working fine but no incoming. When I login into desktop software it shows missed calls. What am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance

Saw this on BBR before but when I put info in wasn't working yet. Now I did it again and it worked right away. Already had the ATA set up for use with G5 and GV. Unlimited direct dial outbound unlimited inbound, call screening of GV somebody pinch me I love my Google Overlords.

yes - it's basically any windows mobile phone

Thats all in place. Mic and speakers work.
As I said, I am able to place outgoing calls (can talk) even with my pap2.

anyone know if I have to use a different sip port on my line 2. I am using viatalk on my line 1. thanks again

Can this be used for free fax in US?

I just hooked up my panasonic fax machine and was able to send a fax to efax (I even had my innomedia set to 'no' for faxes, and I don't think gv 'supports' them). I wasn't able to send an efax back to my panasonic even though efax said it was 'sent'. There is the voice prompt on incoming calls that can be a problem.

Just to confirm, if i am using old vonage router, i can use regular phone to make/receive call? correct?

what os are you using?

i have vista home basic

Just to confirm, if i am using old vonage router, i can use regular phone to make/receive call? correct?

Yes you can use a normal phone, but you have to first "unlock" your vonage router and point it to Gizmo instead of Vonage. Instructions are in the wiki for what to type in.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is there a phone you can connect directly to your computer (usb?) rather than using headphones and a mic?

Question for the technically savvy forum members:

is there anyway to get this to work on all phones within the house to replace a landline? Using a SIP / ATA adapter only gives access to one phone in the house. That's fine for an apartment but for a house with 3 floor including a basement something like the vonage ATA / SIP would be needed. The only other solution I can think of is those cordless phones with multi-stations where the phone line goes into only one base station and then you have charging cradles sitting around the house. Any other solutions people using to replace their landline with this "free". I've been trying to get rid of the landline in my parents house for the longest time. They've got minutes on our family plan but the landline does come in handy for those lengthy calls they receive from time to time that would throw me over the 1000 family plan minutes a few times a year. Ideas?

yah, you would need to unplug the main phone going INTO the apartment, and then plug the ATA device into a phone jack in the wall. Then, you would just use the rest of the phone jacks in the house like you normally would

Anything wrong with cordless phones?
You could split out the line from the ATA to the wall, but the ATA would have to power the REN for all the phones.

You can Split the FXS port on the ATA to distribute amongst your 3 phones. If you have a central DEMARC at your house, just cut and end off an RJ11 cord and plug the jack end in the ATA, the barewire side into the DEMARC block.

can some one pm in easy terms how to get google voice and gizmo 5 to work so i can call from computer

Can someone post a link for a good deal on an ATA? Thanks.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is there a phone you can connect directly to your computer (usb?) rather than using headphones and a mic?

Yeah, just look for VoIP usb handset.

Can someone post a link for a good deal on an ATA? Thanks.

Good deals would be to pickup former Vonage.. etc ATAs. Make sure the one you get can be unlocked. Look on ebay/craigslist. Otherwise Grandstream HT-286's are pretty cheap and a decent ATA. The Sipura now Linksys ATAs are really good if you can find a deal on them.

Just be sure to inform them that they won't be able to dial 911 from this. They'll need to use their cell phone(s) for that.

So do you have to pay for the Gizmo "Call In" to be able to have the number work? The number listed in the "My Section" for me doesnt work I cant verify GV and I tried calling the Gizmo number on my cellphone and it doesnt seem like an inservice number?

on a sligtly unrelated note, does anyone know if there are any phones that work on the sprint network that support SIP dialing without having to open up a separate application? I have a SERO plan i'd like to take from my razr v3m to a more capble phone which could take advantage of this deal.

Just be sure to inform them that they won't be able to dial 911 from this. They'll need to use their cell phone(s) for that.

That's fine. 911 is free on their cell phone and Verizon has great coverage in our area. As a slickdealer, it pains me that every month I see a $30 phone bill with ONLY 3-10 calls made on the landline. Of cos, haven't been able to track how many calls come in or how long each of those calls in or out were. It's also difficult to ween my parents off the landline because they've had that number of over 25+ year and everyone they know has that number. Now if the day comes when GV or Gizmo can port the number over, it'll be a done deal for me.

wow thank you so much...i got it working on my old sunrcoket MTA 6238 modem...one problem is that when i try calling somebody, i dial the number and press talk, it calls me and i have to press flash and then it will dial the number...is there a work around for that?

Here's a set of instructions (http://sunrocketrecovery.blogspot.com/2007/07/innomedia-gizmo-project-grandcentral.html) I used as a guide.

If I try to use Gizmo5 website to call out with the computer it asks to deposit money.

I setup mine up using my computer. No problem with incoming calls. I tried to call out from the Gizmo desktop application . It does not ask me to deposit money. I hang up right away. I noticed there was a green $ sign at the dial page. Am i going to be charged?

Can someone post a link for a good deal on an ATA? Thanks.
Goez Shopping (http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/goezshopping_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZ)continually has the best pricing that I see around. They ship from Hong Kong so it can take a week or two to deliver. The Cisco Spa2100 can go right in line between your modem and computer (has ethernet in and out) or the pap2t is good if you have a router. They are also giving 8% back if you search for "pap2t" or "spa-2100" through Bing. Alternatively 888voip usually has good prices.

Yep, just got mine working same thing, I dial the number and then the phone beeps at me that there is a incoming call. so I switch over and it rings the phone I called. I'm guessing that's the way it's supposed to work. It would be better if the call just dialed like normal, but for free I can live with it :)

This is awsome.
Got it working. It's perfect.

can I get a GV invite please I'd like to get this going as well thanks!

How do you dial out? I can't figure out what the access number is... I found some folks claiming that (347) 234-5001 was the number, but that didn't work for me. I also tried calling my own GV#, but that just rang my other phones and never gave me a prompt to dial any more numbers.

I assume this is how you do it: Dial the Access Number + 2 + Desired Number + #.

Anyone know the Access Number?

Edit: Figured it out... Dial GV#, then press *, then your voicemail pin, then press 2, then dial the destination number, then #

got it working on the iphone with fring and gizmo

even got it working on 3g and edge with voip jailbreak app

GV still by invite? too bad

Whats all that? If you got it working right you just dial the destination phone number. The instructions on the wiki are incomplete if you want a good resource for a Cisco/linksys/spuria product this one (http://www.informationmadness.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1044&Itemid=82) worked very well for me when setting up Gizmo with my ATA.

Wow. It all works, so simply (using my old InnoMedia ATA from SunRocket). Now I remember why I requested a GrandCentral invite a year ago...

Poor MagicJack (assuming the quality for this setup is comparable to theirs).

So I bought the linksys VOIP box, I am almost certain my computer always needs to be on and running gizmo in order for it to ring my actual phone, can anyone please confirm? Or does only my router and internet connection need to be turned on?

I know Magic Jack, it was a direct USB connection to your computer, which would make sense it always needs to be turned on, but since the linksys box hooks up to my router, will it work without running the gizmo app on my desktop, while my computer is turned off?

Flawless. *burns MagicJack*. I was using a PAP2-NA with my MJ credentials until they blocked it back in June. This works wonderfully with the PAP2 and my custom dialing plan. For those still confused, this is completely free minus whatever a good ATA costs you. An ATA is an analog telephone adapter such as the Linksys PAP2-NA I mentioned. You plug it into your internet connection probably via a router, and its got a telephone jack on it for your home phone. You access the configuration page for the PAP2-NA the same way as a Linksys router, using your web browser and going to the IP address. I went to Line 1 in the PAP2 configuration and put in my user (Gizmo5 telephone number starting 1-747) and my Gizmo5 password. I went to http://my.gizmo5.com and enabled GV by entering my google account information. Then I went to my GV account and went to "Phones" and added the Gizmo number starting with 1-747. It wanted to confirm and my home phone rang since the PAP2 was already configured. Once I confirmed the phone it has worked flawlessly. If you are confused about where to get your Gizmo5 number, just login to my.gizmo5.com and search the page for 747.

Hot shit guys. Thanks for making me aware this was possible now.

No you just have to have the voip box plugged into the internet and configured for sipphone.

I was having a difficult time getting a dialtone with this set up.

I am running an IP0020 voip phone ... and successfully was able to get it working with IPKALL + VoIPCHEAP.

But with this setup, no dial tone.

I have the following configured:

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Im sure this is not the problem but you must not be logged into gizmo on your computer or your ata will not be able to logged in.

Great stuff, now I can drop Comcast Digital Voice. :) Just need to find a good ATA.

thanks a lot,
but does anyone get "We couldn't identify your Google Voice number. Please check your email/password again" on the Gizmo5 page...??
What do we enter in the "Google Voice username" box on the Gizmo5 page? just "username" or "username@gmail.com" or "GV phone#"...???

I got the incoming setup working i.e. when someone calls my GV #, it comes to my Gizmo5# i.e. ATA device but when I try outgoing, the lady-bot says "... you must buy Gizmo5 credit..." blah blah
Is it because, may be, my GV a/c is not successfully configured in Gizmo5 as mentioned above?
any help...???
TIA

EDIT:
Looks like something is wrong with my primary GV account. It doesn't work in Gizmo5 page. When I configured my another GV a/c in Gizmo5 a/c, it worked great...!!!

thanks a ton for the simple steps and process...:)
Reps to OP and others who put the simple steps together...

is the call screening aka caller ID? thanks

I got an invite code just now for $5.00 bucks on ebay waiting for the email now.

EDIT

Guys i figured it out just do this

1. go into your gizmo account page

2. make sure you didn't choose forwarding to your GV. If you did, change it back



this worked for me and I started receiving calls on gizmo

There are idiots in the world who try to make things more complicated than they have to be in order to try and sound intelligent. We have a couple in this thread.
