Hi, Everyone, I use the VoiceDream scanner as well and I like it. However, getting the tones to work is a bit spotty and I have to do some manipulating of the phone to get the tones to work. I believe this scanner is rather new and I guess it takes time to iron all the bugs out. That is, if bugs can be ironed! (Just kidding, of course)!
