can gizmo or ekiga be used to make calls to regular telephones or cell

I use Ekiga to make landline calls all the time. The catch is, you
need a VoIP provider. I use freecall.com (this provider also gives
you a local landline number so people with reg phones can call you),
but you can use any VoIP provider who has SIP services. Ekiga.net
provides SIP, but if I read/remember right, no landline connections...
I think.. I can't remember for sure.

Gizmo does the same. I found (last i compared) that long distance
calls via Gizmo were more expensive than my preferred SIP provider.

Clayton, why Freecall?

Talkster http://talkster.com/ is free and has no catches...
