Notes
1. GIZMO is very similar with Skype but works differently ( it is not using peer to peer technology )
You will be able to use it for calling other people (including ones on "regular" phones as long as you purchased minutes/credits). Gizmo alows you to chat, SMS and even make video calls.

2. GIZMO is not working very well on Windows Vista. If you encounter problems, we can help you troubleshooting the issue or assign you an extension on our server that you can use with a different softphone. Please create a ticket or contact us .

3. It is highly recommended to put yourself on mute after joining the conference while you listening
This will minimize the background noise and improve quality of sound

4. You can also use Gizmo instant messaging and "chat" with the other participants
either on a "one on one" basis or by creating a chat group and inviting the ones you would like
