Horaayy..there are 2 comment(s) for me so far ;)
thanks
I have been utilising Google Voice (formerly Grand Central) along with Gizmo5 for awhile now. The combination is wonderful! I was both thrilled and uneasy when I seen Google purchased Gizmo5, but so far I have not found any serious changes in the caliber of service. Voice over IP is, I think, a red-hot technology. Cell phones were the original nail in the coffin for landlines. I feel that VoIP will be the 2nd nail.
