Samapico Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 I'm searching for a pc-based answering machine for my phone... Did anyone ever get to use one? By the way, Skype is one-way only here still, so that's not an option. People wouldn't be able to call me.However... There was that program that said you could get a free voicemail number, but according to the reviews it was a virus, so... But if such a program really exists, combined with Skype it would be a nice alternative. But for now, just an answering machine will do Integrated faxing functions could be nice too Best would be an open-source project of this kind of thing... A tutorial on how to create such a program would be neat too I also notice a lot of programs that have features related to the Caller ID... but I guess these features require the Caller ID service from the phone service provider, right? Cause of course, they never say that in the program description
Dav Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 all phones here seem to have caller ID so perhaps it may be possible. No idea how it works but thought id through in that snippet.
rootbear75 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 eFax.com has free fax numbers if you need them also, FaxZero.com allows you up to 2 free faxes a day
Samapico Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 faxes are the least of my concerns, really
