I just downloaded it and gave it a try. Voice quality has not been so good for me. A bit of an echo and delay. Anyone else having that problem?

Still perusing info from this Gizmo and wondering who's behind (funding) them... :

I tried their GizmoCall plugin for Firefox which allows you to enter the number directly from the url to place a call. But you need to install the plugin.

Free call for 5 minutes to non-members and 10 mins for members. Voice quality wasn't as good as Skype.

I didn't like having the Bonjour service and something else that was running in the background. I think that's what's paying for the service. I didn't like that so I didn't use it anymore. I have SkypeOut already anyway.

You may want to try out Voipbuster (http://www.voipbuster.com) instead. They offer their Pro service for 10 Euros. Didn't try them so don't know how good they are. I'm happy with SkypeOut so have no need to to find any alternative.
