IdentaFone Pro Caller ID Software 2.70.1

IdentaFone Pro Caller ID Software 2.70.1 is designed as a powerful tool which monitors the phone line for incoming calls and offers many ways to keep you informed about your callers identity... Once the caller information is obtained this virtual telephone assistant can speak the callers name through your PC speakers... screen pop the callers name... send the information to a pager or cell phone... submit an email message with the caller information, or broadcast a popup over the local network.

If you are tired of sales calls just block any unwanted caller you choose and even play them a wave file to explain why you do not accept their calls. Get off telemarketer lists with the telezapper type tones included with the rejection messages.

Returning calls is as simple as scrolling through the list of recent numbers and clicking to dial.

Included is a convenient 36-button speed dialer, a phonebook that has linkable email and web fields, and a Do Not Disturb feature that allows paging and email scheduling.

Reverse number lookups using internet directories make filling in your phonebook fields a snap. The Caller logs allow you to track your callers history and print detailed reports. You can send your own custom text pages from your PC to your alpha pager or cell phone without the need for a dispatching service.

Requirements

• Caller ID capable modem. Usually this means a voice modem as many fax/data modems do not include CID. Also a voice modem is required if you want to play wave files to blocked callers or take messages from callers.
• A modem is not required if your business phone system has TAPI support and the proper TSP is installed.
• Latest drivers for your modem if you want to use TAPI mode. Playing wave files over the phone line and answering machine is limited to TAPI mode so it is worthwhile to choose a modem that has good driver support.
• XP and Vista users make sure your modem driver still supports CID when upgrading the OS. Many modem drivers that handled CID in previous versions of Windows are not written properly if using the new Windows built in drivers. Check your modem manufacturer's web site for the latest drivers.
