Currently gizmo charging for all outgoing call if you make call from you hand set but all incomming calls are free. If you call from PC and ring both your handset and the party you are calling then it will be free. It works great for me. In setup step #4 need to be modified. All you need to do google number and turn it ON in gizmo. After you complete you setup you must power cycle your gizmo. I was not getting dial tone untill I did that. Jon described everything very detail and you will be able to setup just by following his instructions. Finally setup the phone.

"Incoming call" is a call that is received by Gizmo and connected through your ATA. Google Voice allows you to get around Gizmo's per minute charges by dialing every call from the GV web interface. When you do this, Google Voice calls you before calling the other party, and Gizmo treats it as a free incoming call. @Hoque

I guess they changed that, probably when they decided to start charging for all calls over 3 minutes. In any case, your setup should still work anywhere in the world as long as far as I know, and you can still avoid per-minute charges by dialing through the Google Voice web interface instead of directly from your phone. @Hoque

People should call the Google Voice number. Your Gizmo SIP number cannot be called from a normal phone. It's just a middleman between Google Voice and your handset. @ Hoque
