Using Gizmo5 with Google Voice

July 26th, 2009 danny25 Comments

This is not really related to N97 at this time since the Gizmo5 mobile app is not S60V5 compatible. However, I just wanted to share quickly how you can make outgoing phone calls using Gizmo5 as a Google Voice dialer. If you already have Google Voice set up follow these instructions below. If not, sign up here for an invite. It takes about 3 weeks.

Instructions:

  1. Install Gizmo5 on your computer. Download here.
  2. Open an account with Gizmo here.
  3. Add your Google Voice account to Gizmo5 on the web. Make sure Google Voice calling is ON after you hit SAVE. (see Picture 1)
  4. Find your SIP number on the “My” page, should be 1-747-XXX-XXXX.
  5. Start Gizmo5 application that you’ve installed and login using your SIP number. Set up speaker and microphone.
  6. Go to Google Voice and add the SIP number to your account under settings >phones. Select Gizmo as Phone Type. (see Picture 2)
  7. Verify SIP number by accepting call on Gizmo5 app and input the 2 digit pin from Google.
  8. After everything is setup, make sure you login on Gizmo5 desktop application using you SIP 1747XXXXXXX instead of the username. This allows you to make calls through Google Voice.

Now when you dial from Gizmo5 your callers will see your GV number and you can also receive calls via Gizmo5 app.

The Gizmo5 mobile version wasn’t working properly on the N97. I couldn’t login using the SIP number. So far no luck calling out from the N97. Maybe this will work on the N95 or any other S60V3. Let me know if it does.
