Internet Answering Machine The perfect Internet answering machine for home and office is now available in the United States. It is known as Callwave and lets you receive, answer and listen to incoming calls while you are online. The software for this service is free to download for a 30-day trial period. What it does is use the call forwarding feature of your telephone service to forward your messages to whatever number you choose. Then the caller ID will flash up on your computer screen to let you know who is calling. The caller can leave a message, which can be delivered to your email inbox. If this is someone you need to talk to, you can call the person back or even talk online.
Once you activate the free trial, you will get reminders about how many days you have left. While this might be a nuisance for some people, it is necessary, especially if you don't use the service all the time. You have the opportunity to sign up at any time during the free month or if you choose you can just take advantage of the offer and not sign up at all.
Reading the FAQ section of the Callwave site will make you really excited about installing this new software on your computer. However, if you read the user reviews, you will hear a different story. There are users who have installed the answering service and were not at all pleased with the results. One of the common complaints is that you have to give your credit card number in order to take advantage of the free trial offer.
