I am wondering what good this is going to be FOR ME.

I am not a heavy traveler as some of some of you. I was hoping to use Voicestick to call forward to a foreign SIM. I no longer have VS. I wonder how long it will be before GC starts the universal service fee thingie that killed the VS goose for me.

I like the fact that if I am abroad and have internet access, that I can listen to my voicemails IF AND WHEN CALLER CALL MY GC NUMBER. That presupposes I contact everyone and tell them my new GC number. Pain in the rump, of course. Otherwise, I have to check at least 2 voicemails (home, office). Luckily I can forward my cell to another number like home voice mail.

OUTBOUND Dialing rates for GC are not published - or do I err.

In the FIRST email from GC customer care, they told me they have taken down the account balance portion.

What, if anything, does Gizmo buy me?

Why do I want/need GC, especially if I cannot make international calls (yet)?
