Gizmo Call is offering free calls to landlines or mobile phones around the world. Just type the phone number in the box and press call (the first time you use it, a browser plug-in will be installed). Calls limited to 10 minutes per day and there appears to be a small print $5.00 limit on the page, so it looks like another one of Michael Robertson’s marketing schemes. Still an interesting idea though.
Looks like a great service, but I couldn’t even try it: after installing their plugin my firefox stopped working properly, not loading pages anymore. Also, my entire system slowed down a lot. I dont know, maybe it’s just my crappy computer :D
Actually I have to say I’m quite impressed with the way it works, so maybe I’ve been a bit hard on them. No lockups or other stuff in Firefox for me. :-)
