I don't know that Sip numbers are universal across services. Aren't they
local to the service you're going to use?

Subject: Anyone up for trying out another VOIP application?
Hey y'all,
So, I'm interested to try the workaround for the busy thing in skype--
this is a problem I've had as well, so glad someone found a possible
solution.
Anyone interested in trying out another one?
http://www.gizmoproject.com
It's based on open standards and looks fairly accessible, with the
exception of a couple unlabeled buttons. That's something that should be
easily enough fixable.
Here's the bad news: there's one of those all-too-pervasive Turing tests.
The only way round that at present is to go to the support link and
submit a trouble ticket and ask that your account be set up manually
because you're blind and can't pass the Turing test. (The support guy
says they're working on that.) Anyway; just give support your Email
address and a username of eight characters or more, and you'll be set up
in the next couple days after.
Besides a Gizmo ID, Gizmo also gives you a SIPPhone number (because it's
the same people) so that people from, say, Free World Dialup and other
similar services, can call you as well; also, ther's a conference bridge
available that can be called from a regular landline phone as well as
from Gizmo. Another list seems to indicate that Skype2 is so far
inaccessible, at least on the PC side, so this may be another option for
us.
BTW, my Skype username ks kb5elv and my Gizmo ID is buddybrannan.
