Gizmo Project is the baby of the team who built the SIPphone VoIP platform. SIPphone builds and operates all the servers and services on which hardware, software or web community can offer free VoIP services. However, as VoIP began to take off, companies tried harder to look like AT&T rather than inventing a new way to use voice, a way where calls were free.

So to inspire partners, and because we were so tired with the low quality and reliability of the existing selection of softphone for consumers, we built our own softphone (internally called Gizmo Project). Soon everyone in the company had started using Gizmo as their standard phone. So we began letting partners and friends of the company use Gizmo Project, and then it took off on its own.
