Google to kill Gizmo5 VoIP on April 32011-03-09 09:29 by DanielaTags: Gizmo5, VoIP
Google will shut down the standalone Gizmo5 VoIP service on April 3, 16 months after acquiring Gizmo5 and rolling the startup's engineers into its Google Voice team. On March 4, the company sent an email to Gizmo5 customers, saying that the service would be discontinued and that, on March 11, users will no longer be able to add credit to their accounts. Google confirmed the email with The Reg. "Since the Gizmo5 team joined Google in 2009, we've worked together to improve the overall Google Voice experience and introduce new calling features, such as the ability to call phones from within Gmail," a company spokeswoman said. "In an effort to focus our resources on core Google Voice innovations, we will be discontinuing the Gizmo5 service in early April." Google launched Gizmo5-powered Gmail phone calls in late August. If you use Gizmo5 and you're in the US, you can transfer your Gizmo5 credit to Google Voice, and it can be used for calling from either Google Voice or Gmail. Alternatively, you can request a Gizmo5 refund at http://my.gizmo5.com. Read more -here-
