Cheap is good.\u00a0 Not having to buy new stuff is even better.<\/p>\n

Take advantage of these two bastions of frugality by reading the highly informative series on how to use Google Voice by David<\/a> Gewirtz<\/a>\u00a0at his Government Blog<\/a>.\"Vintage_Rotary_Phone\"<\/p>\n

Challenges of Cheap<\/h2>\n

In the Gewirtz\u00a0installment,\u00a0Google Voice: a cheapskate’s guide to cheap VoIP<\/a>, it’s assumed you’ve said goodbye to a land line, are relying on a cell phone, and would like to continue using your old\u00a0comfortably familiar land line handset.<\/p>\n

Gewirtz first compares the OBi<\/a> VoIP adapter versus Ooma <\/a>proprietary technology and then\u00a0how to bridge your Google Voice account with an OBiTALK account if you\u00a0run with the OBi adapter.<\/p>\n

Use Your Existing VoIP Adapters Too<\/h2>\n

I’d like to add that if you already have an existing VoIP adapter like the Linksys PAP2T <\/a>or Linksys SPA2102<\/a>\u00a0these can be used with Google Voice too by combining it with sipgate<\/a>\u00a0VoIP service that gives you a free phone number for one user.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 As\u00a0of April 3, 2011 Gizmo5 no longer works with Google Voice – the service has been discontinued<\/a>.<\/p>\n
