Has anyone here ever used both of these? Which one do you prefer?
Has anyone used Gizmo's Call In service that allows you to get a phone number based in the US and people can call it and you get the call thorugh your computer?
Has anyone tried SKype's version of this called SKypeIn? Actually, I know SkypeOut works with Macs but I don't think SKypeIn does....for those who have tried it on PC, how did you like it?
ANy opinions appreciated.

i havent tried Gizmo, but use Skype once in a while. SkypeOut is pretty cool and works great for me. I had a US number with SkypeIn for my travelling, but I found it a little unreliable. That was 6 months ago. Things might be different now.
Never had any compatibility issues with my Powerbook.

Skype works fine for me. Why don't you try it and see if it works for you?

i've tried skype before but was looking to use Gizmo for their Call In service...I've had mixed experience with Skype's program and am wondeirng if Gizmo is worth trying.
