Although I have both a Magic Jack, my first VOIP, and a NetTalk, much
better, VOIP device I have yet to cancel my Verizon land line. I have
business interest and I have not wanted to disturb my number, and
there are features of my land line that I must have in order to
operate. One is faxing, another is the ability to easily and
seamlessly record my phone calls at will, and I also need the ability
to white and black list phone numbers.
Netgear will now allow me to port my number to my NetTalk account,
and doing so would save me around 600 a year from my Verizon bill, so
I am looking for solutions to my other needs.
For faxing I am thinking of an extremeFax account
http://www.extremefax.com/ , I don't need this level of Faxing but
when I need it I got have it....anybody have any experience with
them, or can make other recommendations.
On my Verizon land line I don't answer the phone. In fact, it doesn't
ring so instead of the Voice/Fax software I currently use with a talk
modem plugged into my Verizon land line, I will be getting my
messages by email. That's Ok but I don't seem to have any options as
to call blocking for those telemarketers who hammer the line. I am
thinking about forwarding this number to a Google voice account...
can I have a white and black list for a Google voice account.. does
anyone know.
Google voice will let you record phone calls that it forwards to
you... unfortunately it always comes up with the warning and that can
unnerve people.. is there a way to kill the warning?. Can Google
voice record phone calls that you place? Is there a way to use Google
voice to place calls using a conventual phone? Anybody know of a
really good reference souce for Google voice? Is there a easy to use
desktop app for recording NetTalk phone calls that some body has
experience with?
It would be great if I could find a single desktop app to handle all
this for me, like I have now. Any advice, or recommendations appreciated.
