Previously and in the FAQ, international numbers, only US (?), can be chosen. I have asked Vlad is he can call CA. No answer yet.

Yes. Calls to Canadian numbers are allowed and work great.

I read in Howard Forums that forwarding to a Canadian number is also free. At least for now. Till their system can differentiate it I guess.

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)?

Thanks for the invitation.
I tried to register it forwarding to my IPKall number because i wanted a local LA number (we have a company branch there). But when i get the confirmation call it does not recognize my numbers even though the voice quality is very good. argh....

Try to set your outbound DTMF to inband from auto.

You can also setup a GizmoProject account and route the GrandCentral number to your Gizmo number (area code 775).
