Gizmo OpenSky :: Call Skype users from any mobile, web browser

If you and your friends use Skype, main problem is use of Skype is very much limited with few softwares like Skype, Fring, Iskoot. But now you may not feel this restriction. Gizmo has launched a new service named ,Opensky which allows any mobile phone, web browser or IP aware phone network (SIP, asterisk, etc) to communicate with Skype users. OpenSky supports sending text messages and voice calls.

OpenSky can be used through any High end VOIP systems(like Cisco call manager, Avaya etc), PBX, Wifi enabled phones, SIP devices and the best part , all mobile phones which doesn`t have any internet or data plan.

How to Use OpenSky

From any PC:
Go to GizmoCall.com from any browser, register (it's free and requires just an email address). Then enter a Skype ID like this: skype_echo123 (in this example echo123 is the Skype username). The skype_ indicates to GizmoCall that you want to dial a Skype user. Then click the green call button and you're ready to talk! Nothing to download or install. 1-5 minute calls are free. For longer calls you will need to buy OpenSky. This is best way...
