gHome: Now Google Voice with 7-digit dialing
The "seven-digit dialing" feature is one of the most wanted features in Google Voice and gHome (which is a home phone based on Google Voice).

We have had many emails from our users to implement this feature and now we have. You can now dial a 7-digit number with your gHome phone and Google Voice will connect your call to your local area.

Here is a post on TELTUB's forum on how to set it up.

gHome; A free home phone based on Google Voice

We have been asked to offer gHome for free. That's a cool idea but it is very challenging to find sources of income to cover the costs instead of direct monthly payments. Anyhow, we have had many brainstorming sessions and we came up with a way that lets us offer a free home phone service based on Google Voice.

Here is how it works: If a gHome user refers only 4 friends who buy pre-configured adapters OR purchase $50 credit toward their monthly payments his/her gHome service will be free for one year. In other words, we give out $15 credit for each referral.

Those referred friends can also invite their friends and make their own service free.

Most referral programs are designed to increase the revenue through referrals but we do this to increase the growth(thus our referral program is very generous). Here is what we think: we give out the service for free if you help us grow.

So, if you like gHome but you were hesitating because it was not free, now you can have a free home phone based on Google Voice.

Interested? Take a look at our forum to learn how to do it.
