According to Wikipedia, Gizmo is proprietary, as well

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizmo_Project

but it seems to use the SIP standard for call negotiation, which is
much better than Skype that uses only proprietary protocols. Which
Open Standard audio codecs Gizmo uses I cannot tell, the information
does not seem readily available.

So while Gizmo seems better than Skype in terms of Open Standards
compliance, I cannot recommend it, as the software is proprietary.

But unlike Skype, using Gizmo might allow me to participate in calls
if there is a SIP number I can call from my VOIP system.

Wikipedia has a list of VOIP software

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VoIP_software

that might be useful.

I'd probably recommend to take a look at

  http://openwengo.com/

which seems available for multiple platforms, including mobile phones
and web browsers and is Free Software using Open Standards all the way.

Georg
