It’s not “just another” Skype wannabe – it tries hard to copy what it can but it has the advantage that it works with SIP which means (unlike Skype) that people using all kinds of different Voice over IP services should be able to talk to their users. I am however more interested in http://jajah.com/en/index.asp which communicates with Skype as well as SIP phones, has text message support and videoconferencing etc. I am waiting for it to become available on Mac though.
does gizmo allow free call to mobile phones ^^,
