I have phone service provided \t\tby my cable company. EB has phone service provided by her telephone \t\tcompany — of all things!<\/p>\n
Anywhale…<\/p>\n
One day I was sitting at the computer and the \t\tphone rang. My cable company provides caller-ID service free and it displays the calling number on the telephone as well as on the TV screens. But I was sitting at the computer and didn’t feel like going to the phone to \t\tsee who was calling – and the TV wasn’t on. I thought, wouldn’t it be \t\tnice if I could tell who was calling without answering the phone or \t\twatching soap operas. Why can’t I just see it displayed on my \t\tcomputer monitor, I wondered. So that set me off on a search to find a program that \t\twould let me see who’s calling without taking my weary eyes off the \t\tcomputer screen.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n After some searching I found \t\ta really cool program that lets me see, at a glance, who’s calling. \u00a0But it does a \t\tlot more than that, not the least of which is that it lets you zap telemarketers and play an authentic \t\tsounding “I’m sorry. The number you are calling has been disconnected or \t\tis no longer in service” message. You can also set different \t\tringtones for different callers — and a lot more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you’re using Internet \t\tphone, listen up! Take a standard phone cord from your cable modem’s \t\tphone line output and plug it into your computer’s dialup modem input \t\t(yes, I said dialup – don’t worry it has no affect on your connection or \t\tphone service). Run another telephone cord from your computer’s dialup \t\tmodem’s “Phone out’ jack and plug it into a home phone jack. Your calls \t\twill then be routed through your computer (intercepted as it were) and \t\tthen to your house phones. Your phones will ring normally – except for \t\tthe calls you want to zap. You can even set a quiet time when you don’t \t\twant your phones to ring. Callers will receive a message that you’re not \t\taccepting calls at this time. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you’re using dialup \t\tInternet you cannot use the free version of PhoneTray. You’ll have to \t\tbuy PhoneTray for dialup users. You cannot use PhoneTray Free with DSL \t\tconnections either.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Here’s some information from \t\tthe PhoneTray Free Website.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n “Identify callers and zap telemarketers with this FREE Caller ID \t\tsoftware.<\/p>\n Easy to use FREE Caller ID software – shows Caller ID, speaks name and \t\tnumber, logs all your incoming calls. Reject any unwanted call, zap \t\ttelemarketers with special tone or play Federal do-not-call warning to \t\tremove you from their lists – by law!…”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n PhoneTray Free is a really handy program – if you’re using Cable \t\tInternet – with or without Internet phone.
