I am always looking for a free inbound number from Peru and today I thought that I had found it in a new service from Gizmo:

Gizmo – A free phone for your computer - Forum

What are Free Local Numbers and how do they work?
A "Free Local Number" is a new feature of Gizmo Call that allows people around the world to call you by dialing a local number from their mobile phone or land line which you can answer on your computer at no cost to you.
[...]
Here's how it works:
When you call someone using Gizmo Call, a number will display on your screen. This number is what we refer to as a Free Local Number, which will be a local phone number in either the same region of the person you are calling or a number in the least expensive neighboring region for them to call. The next step for you is to tell the person you called to call you back at the Free Local Number on your screen. Optionally, you can email the number or send an SMS to the person's mobile using Gizmo SMS. The Free Local Number will also appear in the caller ID history of the person you called. Once the person you called has this Free Local Number, they can call you anytime at no charge or at a low cost. You can receive calls on your computer, mobile, or land line phone. To receive calls on your computer, you must first be logged in to Gizmo Call. ...

I have Gizmo Project installed in Voxalot and the same login data work for GizmoCall. So my aim is to use this "Free Local Numbers" feature to ring my Voxalot account. I would like to have a free call in number in Peru, but this did not work yet. I don't know I have done something wrong or if the service just doesn't work well.

Could you maybe check out this service as well and see how it works in your case? There is a little bit information at:

Free Local Numbers FAQ
Gizmo – A free phone for your computer - Help

Theoretically this could be a great endorsment to a Voxalot account. I hope that you have more luck with it and maybe you can explain me soon how it realy works. The latest postings in the forum are mine.

Thank you!
