Project Gizmo makes calls free, sorta

Project Gizmo, the free cro platform VoIP client, has a ounced that you can now make free calls from Gizmo to landlines and mobile phones in 60 countries (with some limitatio , of course). I have long enjoyed Project Gizmo, so this is welcome news, however, free in this case i 't as free as one might think.

You can only call landlines and mobile phones of people who have a Project Gizmo account and are 'active users,' so there goes my free calls to my mother ('sorry, Mom, I would have called but Gizmo wouldn't let me!'). This is a ploy to get more people registered for Project Gizmo, and I say more power to them but it strikes me as kind of lame. What think you, oh dear TUAW readers?
