How To Make Free Calls From Your Computer With Google Voice

About three weeks ago, I finally got an invite for Google Voice, the new phone-managing service from Google that I’d been itching to try out since before it was even called Google Voice (back then, it was called GrandCentral, and I still wanted it really, really badly).
Google Voice has a ton of great features, and in a lot of ways fundamentally changes the way you’ll use your phone. A lot of things suddenly become easier with Google Voice – checking your voicemail, sending text messages, and more – and they’re all best dealt with through your computer.

But, as of now, Google Voice doesn’t inherently let you make calls from your computer. I mean, I’ve got a microphone and speakers on my computer, as well as a fast Internet connection – why shouldn’t I be able to make calls, ideally for free?
Well, as it turns out, I can – with a little legwork. Here’s how to set it up (I did this on a Mac, so PC directions might be slightly different – the same rules will apply, though).

Disclaimer: This is all assuming you’ve already got a Google Voice account. They’re sending out invites at lightning-speed, so if you don’t have one, go get on the list!

1. Download and Install Gizmo5 (create a free account, with no call credits – you won’t need them!).
2. Open Gizmo. In the “Home” tab of the application, click “Edit My Profile.”
3. In the tab that pops up, you’ll see, filled in, a number for “SIP number.” Copy that number (everything before the @ sign).
4. In Google Voice, click “Settings”, and then “Phones.”
5. Click “Add Another phone” and paste the SIP number from Gizmo (again, only what’s before the @ Sign) into the box.
6. Name the number “Gizmo” or whatever you want, and then Save it.

Now, to make calls:

1. Open Google Voice, and click “Call”
2. Enter the number you want to call
3. Make sure the Gizmo phone (whatever you called it) is selected as the “Phone to Ring”
4. Click “Connect”
5. You’ll get a pop-up from Gizmo, with your Google Voice number on the caller ID. Answer it!
6. Google Voice will automatically dial and connect the other person, and you’ll be chatting from your computer!

The whole process only takes about five minutes, and doesn’t cost a nickel. Because you’re using a SIP number, all the data is transmitted over your cable connection rather than your phone network. That means you’ll need fast Internet to really make this work, but also means it doesn’t cost a thing!
I’m not sure how long this will be around (I’m sure carriers won’t be fans), but for now it’s a fantastic solution for making calls directly from your computer.

Download Free Games for Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Mobile

I really love to play games on mobile phones. Recently I got a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Mobile and it has got 2 games, Bounce Touch and Raging Thunder GR. I really loved the two games but was also looking for some other games which uses the Touch Screen feature of Nokia 5800 XM mobile. Luckily after searching for a while I was able to find some cool games for my Nokia 5800 mobile. The problem is that there are not many games that are developed for the Nokia S60 5th Edition Mobiles.

Meteor Arkanoid for Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
This game is similar to the Blasterball game that we play on the PC. All you need to do is break all the bricks with the ball without allowing it to touch the base. You can use the touch screen feature of Nokia 5800 to move the slider. Though the game looks cool it is not very speedy. They should have used the orientation sensor to control the base. But the graphics in the game are very good.

Download Meteor Arkanoid for Nokia 5800

Marble Maze for Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
After downloading this game I was playing it for almost one hour everyday. This game is really very addictive. Marble Maze is similar to the many labyrinth games. The best feature of this game is that it utilizes the orientation sensor built inside the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. So you will actually control the ball in a labyrinth by tilting the Nokia 5800 mobile in your hands and lead the ball into a goal. There are 40 different labyrinths to solve(Currently I completed 20 levels). There are 3 different types of balls for you to choose metal ball, rubber ball and super pingpong ball. It is very difficult to control the rubber ball and super pingpong ball so I always play the game with metal ball.

How I Make Free Calls from PC to Mobile Anywhere in the world

You can now make free calls from your pc to any mobile in the world.All you need is a Yahoo messenger,a mic and a decent internet connection.I’m now using this free call method for over a month now and the great thing is that, this trick can be used to make unlimited call to mobiles all over the world and not limited to United states.It even works to make free local mobile calls in India:)

So how do we make a call from pc to mobile phone for free.

Install Yahoo messenger,incase you don’t have it (go for the latest one which have voice support)
Sign into your yahoo messenger.
Configure your microphone and headset(don’t use speakers as it cause disturbances)
Inside your Yahoo messenger dial 18003733411 and press enter(as shown in figure).


Now a small window pops up like the one shown below.
 
An operator greets you with a recorded welcome message along with an advertisement and asks you to select one of the Free411 service.Just hear the services options until they say the last one as “Free Call”.When you hear this,don’t press any number on your keyboard and instead SAY “Free call” loudly on your microphone connected to your PC.
After this voice message is detected by their system ,they will run a short advertisement of their sponsor and make sure you don’t press any number at this time.
WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THIS MESSAGE “Please dial the phone number country code first,don’t forget to dial 1 for north america”
After you hear this message ,immediately dial the destination number of your choice along with the country code.(eg for north america it’s 1 and for india it’s 91)

 

Your call will get connected and you can talk for 7 minutes continuous for free.When it gets disconnected, repeat the same procedure again.You can make multiple and unlimited calls with this service.

No.There is no limit on the number of free calls which can be made through this system.
So enjoy this trick to make free international and local calls and make sure you don’t abuse the system.
