GizmoCallIf you thought that Skype was a disruptive technology because
it allows users to make free or cheap voice and video calls around the
world, then you ain't seen nothing yet. Because Gizmo5 just launched
OpenSky, a service which lets you connect with Skype from virtually any
web browser, computer, or mobile phone,.
Here's how it works. Basically OpenSky creates an alias for every Skype
user. So if you want to call Skype user "echo123" (the Skype test call
number), all you have to do is dial "echo123@opensky.gizmo5.com" from
any SIP aware device. Want to give it a try without installing or
purchasing anything? Just visit the GizmoCall web site where you can
dial a number from the web using a Flash interface.
Now here's the really cool thing. Once you're signed up for a Gizmo5
account, you can also use any mobile phone to communicate with Skype
users. All you have to do is send a text message to 1-941-421-9832 and
start the message with the Skype user you want to send a message to.
Your SMS message will show up in their chat window. If you want to make
a voice call, just enter the recipient's Skype name and leave out the
text message. Your phone will ring and once you pick up, you'll be
connected for a voice call.
You can make OpenSky calls of up to 5 minutes for free. For $20 a year
you can make calls of up to 2 hours.
Go there...
