Gizmo Project uses your internet connection (broadband or dial-up) to make calls to other computers. With the one click of a mouse in Gizmo, you’re connected to family, friends, and colleagues anywhere in the world.
And with inexpensive add-ons like Call In and Call Out, you can talk to any telephone mobile or landline on the planet. Any phone? Yes.
With Call Out, you can call any landline or mobile phone with super cheap Call Out Credits. Super cheap? How does 1.8 cents a minute sound? Enter any number into Gizmo Project and dial away. It rings like a normal phone, sounds like a normal phone, it only costs less.
You only pay for the calls you make, and your credits only expire if you don't use your account for six months. There are no monthly fees, no connection fees, and all billing is per minute. Simple, inexpensive, great quality.
