I will say that this is a very good service that is likely to see growth problems once it becomes public. It does have a few small drawbacks. I have gizmo5 connected to an Cisco Linksys ATA adapter and can receive calls fine through this setup with no fees on received calls. However, if my wife wants to pick up and dial the phone she would be using the Gizmo5 pay per call service. There are ways around this like using your GV log in to place the call but this can be computer intensive and cumbersome for non techs. There also is no e911. Gizmo5 will let you use (for $5 per yr) an assigned caller ID and GV will soon let you port your number so your Gizmo5 call out will have you GV caller ID send.I also use this for free minutes on my cell (probably a violation of terms of service).All in all an excellent VOIP service but missing some key features on call out.
