Re: What Are The Best Options To Forward Google Voice To An ATA
A long time ago, Nitzan was kind enough to set up a line which allows me to forward my Google Voice incoming, via IPkall to my F9 VOIP account. The account has no monthly fee, and costs 1 cent a minute for outgoing calls only.
So far the GV -> IPKALL -> F9 has been trouble free (with one hicup once regarding incoming CID info caused by IPKall for a few days).
If you can persuade Nitzan to set you up, he can automatically enter 1 to answer your calls. It is as close to a free DID as I think GV will get.

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to dialing a call directly from an ATA through Google Voice (I'm talking dialing, not having GV ring the number you're at and then the number you're calling, or dialing into your GV voicemail to make a call).
Of course that would amount to free domestic VOIP calling, and would crush services like Vonage. I'm thinking if GV was to allow it, there would be a charge. |

I just got GV two days ago and tried Gizmo. From my very limited testing with a headset using Gizmo, the sound quality from Gizmo is crappy...very echoey and when I talk, it seems to break up the call coming in.
I want to try with a regular phone connected to my PC/router but haven't figured out how to do that. So I'm a newbie for sure but just wanted to offer my limited experience. |

Were you using the G5 client or another softphone. I'm not sure what codec G5 uses as default on their client but its not G.711. Try something like NCH Express Talk and see if that sounds better. |

... very echoey and when I talk, ... Sounded like an acoustic echo. If this is the case, then you need to adjust the volume and/or micophone sensitivity.
it seems to break up the call coming in. What is your Internet connection? What CoDec did you use?

I have been using GV with G5 for a few months now and it has worked surprisingly well (even though it is completely free).
I first tried the G5 client, but the people on the other end of the conversation always heard themselves echo back. Then I tried using the X-lite SIP client and everything seems to work much better now.
Sound quality has been good on most calls, but sub-par on a few. I am thinking about using future nine instead of gizmo. Does anyone have any experience with the sound quality of F9 compared to gizmo? |

Were you successful in forwarding GV to Sipgate? I have not been able to make it work. |

said by macman4hire :zaldy Gizmo5 is the only service that you can directly forward Google to an ATA. The other way would to use a free DID from such services as IPKall or Sipgate One. I am looking to get the best sound quality and wanted to here what the forum members have experienced using different service providers or combinations of service providers. My guess is that Gizmo5 would probably be rated the highest because it is direct. Thanks for explaining it to me. |
