However, this is nothing new. Of course, there are a lot of startups offering similar functionality today, including PhoneGnome who recently added this functionality as part of their 2.0 launch. The difference with them is that you will get a call on your registered PhoneGnome number instead of dealing with an embedded soft client. And then again, Broadvox Direct has had this feature on it’s user portal for a couple of years now, and you can specify both endpoints of the call to boot.

What I really like about that is that it's integrated in your bill: no need to start another account with the hassle and costs of upping your credit: it's just put on your next billing statement. For me personally, I have been looking into many VoIP solutions, but as long as calling to a dutch cellphone is never cheaper than with my own cellphone, there isn't that much use for it, as those are the most calls I make. Jahja is nice, if you have a lot of international calls, but without those, it's not much use.</p> My provider in the Netherlands, xs4all, has the same offering (tho only for IE browsers).

The control panel looks similar to Skype, but you don't need to install anything on your computer. You'll need a headset with a microphone, Though. The system only works for fixed line or mobile numbers, there is no instant messaging available.</p> I’ve used something similar on ekit.com.

The new web-based service utilizes Adobe’s Flash technology and is expected to launch later this month. It will allow people to make calls by visiting Gizmo’s website, logging in, and simply typing in the number they wish to call without needing the Gizmo software. It would be an easy way to make calls when using computers, at say an Internet cafe. Other features like presence indicator, and instant messaging are likely to be supported, though we don’t have first hand information on how these will work.
