Download Gizmo 1.3.1

Gizmo is a program that can be compared to the now well-known Skype. But unlike Skype, Gizmo uses an open standard, namely SIP. You can start a conversation with other users of Gizmo for free or call and receive calls from a normal phone for a fee. Each Gizmo member also receives a SIP number with which you can be reached by other SIP-based programs. For more information about this program, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 1.3.1 for the Mac OS X platform with the following changes:
