Gizmo Project: Local Numbers In 28 Countries
Gizmo Project just sent out an email with an announcement that they're offering local numbers in any of 28 countries, starting from US$3/mth. These numbers can be forwarded to any mobile or landline phone at the "almost free" Gizmo Call Out rates. Essentially, it means that you can redirect your calls to wherever you are, without that costing your callers extra. They'd still pay for any cost of calling to your local Call In number, though.
Now while Skype may have more users than Gizmo Project, the latter is not only based on an open standard, it also offers call in numbers in more countries. If I recall, Skype's are limited to just the US and UK, which is pretty strange considering, for example, that they've got a North American promo that includes Canada, not to mention promos in France and other countries. You'd that Skype would strike while their iron's hot and offer Call In numbers in at least the promo countries. If you're interested in the Gizmo offering, see what countries have local number support.
