AOL Call Alert + Answer

$3.95 per month.

AOL Call Alert plus Answer offers the ability to answer calls when they come in -- on any phone you choose (home, cell, etc.). Basically, when the incoming call message appears, you can forward your call to any number you select. You are limited to a three-minute call, though.

This service builds on AOL Call Alert, which lets you see the Caller ID of incoming calls while you are on the Internet.

The Review Guy Says


I really enjoy the ability to send different messages to different callers -- that comes in really handy and being able to block telemarketers is always a plus."

I like AOL Call Alert. This is a great service if you're tired of having to split your phone line between computer use, and taking calls, and dread the thought of a second phone line.

This plan is top-of-the-line for Internet call waiting and alerts -- it gives you everything you could want from a service, except that you can't automatically break into a call while someone is leaving a message.

Ask the caller to leave a message
If they leave a message, AOL Call Alert notifies you with a message alert window that lets you listen to your incoming message right away, without going offline.
See the Caller ID of incoming calls
This service builds on AOL Call Alert, which lets you see the Caller ID of incoming calls while you are on the Internet.
Send a custom message to callers
You can play any of four pre-recorded messages for the caller -- just click on the appropriate button. There are four messages: "I'll call you back", "Please call later", "Try my cell," or "Don't know you."
Bonus Call Alert Feature:
That last message ("Don't know you") also plays a special beep that tells any automated telemarketing machines that they reached an invalid number -- usually, that gets your number deleted from their database!
