CallWave Connect
$7.95 per month.
30-day free trial.
This is CallWave's most advanced plan, and it shows! It's a
whole lot more than just call alerts when you're online. CallWave
Connect call alert has the most advanced Internet call alert
and online answering machine features. However, it is slightly
more expensive (but it's still cheaper than a new phone line,
though!)
Basically, CallWave Connect has all of the features of CallWave
Messenger, plus call alert enhancements.
You can see the Caller ID of incoming calls while they're online.
At the same time, callers can leave voice mail messages for
online users.
But the enhancements let you see the caller's name and number,
and can also hear the caller's voice as they leave a message.
Most importantly, CallWave Connect allows you to click a button
to take important calls. You don't have to wait until someone
leaves a message, and you don't have to guess whether a call
from someone is important to determine whether you should take
it. This plan also includes the option to automatically block
telemarketing calls -- a major plus!
The monthly fee is $7.95 in addition to Busy Call forwarding
charges from your local telephone company. (But compare that
to getting another phone line, and you'll see that you're probably
still saving money!)
Wow! Was I impressed when I saw this -- the Internet answering
machine features alone I think are worth the price of this package.
Add in the ability to click a button on the CallWave window
to take selected calls and you've got a winner of a call alert.
This is my favorite of the CallWave plans.
I love that you can break in to "intercept" important calls
rather than letting them get sent to voicemail. You can also
see the caller's name and number, and can also hear the caller's
voice as they leave a message (that's how you know whether to
break in or not.) |
