>Good point- even people outside the US can make calls, but it seems you need to be in the US (or at least using a US IP address, heheh) to get a phone number so you can receive calls... I'll give it a try. Not sure about the privacy element, though. If all your calls get stored on a Google server, do you care?

Well I'm in the USA so I *assume* all my calls are stored on a government computer anyway so I don't care...hahaha

I was lucky enough to get a Gizmo5 account before they quit letting people signup for it - so making a long story short I can use that free VOIP sip account to receive calls from my google voice number too - plus I can make outgoing calls via google voice and have the ringback to my gizmo account - which of course means free incoming and outgoing calls...hehehe
