    This was the worst on-line shopping experience I've ever had till date. I bought a $35 DID number with Gizmo5 through google checkout. There was a delay of almost 24h until the number finally show up on my gizmo account page and when it finally does, it doesn't work at all. There is no customer support number for gizmo5 or any direct email addresses - the only contact platform with the company is through an online form on the website. After contacted they tell me that they acquire this numbers from different vendors and were contacting the one in question to find out what the problem was. One day later i am told that the number was erroneously posted as available on the website but that they would offer me a replacement. I accepted their proposed number but after that I hear nothing else from them until 3 days later - in spite of my repeated attempts to contact the company - when they tell me that the replacement number is no longer available!!! They then offer me yet a different replacement number, this time from a completely different area code and far inferior to the one purchased initially - and on the condition of having to pay an additional 100% of what i had already originally paid. I have since been writhing to them demanding either an equivalent replacement number or a refund and have no answer at all. In the meanwhile the original number was taken out of my account page and no refund offered.
    This people are a very bad joke, stay well back!!

    Other than that, I liked OpenWengo but it appears to be gone now.

    full of advertisement, it is not friendly, in fact if u want to make a conference you have to follow some steps, and it stills doesn't work.
    use the skype that's the best user friendly VOIP program, its a pity that you have to pay for the calls but its the best one

    Looked like a great alternative right up until the moment I started up version 4 and it logged into all my IM accounts it had saved from version 2. It then proceeded to message every single one of them with a message proclaiming that I was using Gizmo and they should give it a try.

    It had much promise but for the blatant lack of choice it just has to go.

    LOL, I agree with legion. How ever, if that where so, it would have to offer the gateways for free, instead of fee.
