So, as of today, I stopped getting my VMs on Google Voice, and I am receiving emails from Gizmo5 notifying me of new voice mails.
I know Google bought Gizmo5 a while back, and I think they are integrating the services.
Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I understand SMS compared to email, whats Messenger service ( ie Yahoo messenger ).
What happens when a Yahoo message hits your PPC in WM5, does it end up in an email account like SMS ?
I know that SMS is quick than email, as its a phone call, whats IM or messenger is it quicker than SMS ??
I know nothing about IM or Messenger services, please advise a newbie ?
SMS, Email, and IM services are three distinctly different methods of communication.
To make it simple:
Email is routed by email servers using the internet.
IM services (generally) operate on the "server/client" principle. For example, you use MSN Messenger, when you log in... you authenticate with MSN and you are connected through their server to people on you contact list. They are considered an Intermediary (this is not ALWAYS true for all IM providers). This service _also_ uses the internet.
SMS does not (in my experience with providers) directly, use the internet. Your SMS message is sent through the cellular radio service to a reception number, from there it is delivered through the cellular network. Hence the reason SMS will work without a GPRS connection.
Now I maybe wrong on some of this but I'm fairly confident in my response. If there are any corrections to be had, please let me know and I will gladly alter my memory to equip that change

I've got seven (7) invites to Google Wave. I'd like to receive a invite in order to use Google Voice in exchange for one, but if you're interested in getting one with or without the Voice invite - send me a pm with your email address.
Is it possible to link more than one google account in the x10? I have a second gmail account that I have set up a google voice account on, and I have google voice working on my phone with the second account in addition to my main gmail account that is associated with the phone. I was hoping to be able to sync my contacts from my phone to the second google account so I would have ask of my contacts able to be used on google voice from my computer as well, anybody know of an easy way to do that?

Unfortunately, multiple accounts are not support in 1.6. (Another reason the 2.1/2.2 update/root can't come soon enough.)
There is only support for email through K9, a Google Code project: http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/
I figured out a work around for what I wanted to do. I just exported my synced contacts from my main google account and imported them into my google voice google account. Not live synced our anything, but o can just do the same again if I add a bunch of new contacts.

S-Voice is nice, but it seems to choke when I say, "Call Joe Blow mobile" trying to find a contact for Joe Blow. The problem is that I have about 200 contacts for my personal gmail account, and >3000 for my work (hosted by Google Apps) account. It seems to time out trying to search the combined address books.
Is there a way to limit which contacts or address book S-Voice can use for dialing?
It would be awesome if I could limit it to contacts with a certain label. Then I'd label the only contacts (about 20) that I ever need to voice dial.
I have searched around a bit and saw one other person mention this, but didn't see any comments on why or a solution.
I installed the latest version of Google Exchange Services so that I could have my work account in the Gmail 5.0 app. The Google Exchange Services works great with the exception of one issue. While the contacts sync through the exchange services, they are read only on the phone. If I sync the contacts through the native Exchange Services on the phone, I am able to edit the contacts.
Is there a setting I am missing on the phone? Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
I am using a Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop.
