Use Nexus One and save money with Google Voice

Jan 21st, 2010 by Kenji

I learned this technic from LifeHacker’s article: How a $530 Nexus One Might Actually Make Sense. But I think you can save more money.

I’ll get Nexus One tomorrow. Then I’ll go to T-Mobile to get a SIM card. I will contract with T-Mobile only for internet & email plan ($39.99, w/o calling pack). I will pick up all calls using Skype. I have gizmo5 account, so I can rout GV number through Skype, but through Gizmo5 router, the quality of sounds gets a little worse and there’s a time lag. If these 2 problems don’t happen, I don’t need Skype In number.. but it’s OK. Still I can save much money.

In original article LH referred, author said that you need SkypeOut mobile/landline subscription. However, using GV, you can call out for free inside us already. so don’t waste $2.45/month. you just need Skype In number. If you use Gizmo5, you can rout call to Skype, but I don’t recommend it because of the sound quality and time lag.
