5 Super Convenient VoIP Features
Did you know you can automatically block telemarketer calls, or receive notification of incoming calls through your TV? Check out these nifty features. If you’re not already using them, it’s time to see what you’ve been missing.
- Telemarketer Blocking–Telemarketer blocking works by sensing those few extra moments of dead air that the auto-dialer machines produce when they call you up to interrupt your supper. Additionally, telemarketer blocking will respond to those annoying auto-dialer machines with a tone that it will interpret as “this phone is no longer in service”.
- TV Calls– With many VoIP services, you can forward incoming calls to your TV. Yep, now you don’t even have to exert the energy to see if it’s a call you can wait a bit to respsond to. You can configure settings to display your online status and see caller info, using your remote control.
- Click to Call– Nearly all VoIP providers allow you to make calls simply by clicking on a phone number in your address book, in an email or website.
- Track eBay Auctions– With a simple Yahoo Messenger add-on, you can keep up on auction items you’re watching or have won. Forget sniping, you’ll never miss another exciting auction close countdown.
- Home Security– As long as you have more than one sign on, you can access a webcam at home, whiel you’re away. All you need to do is set up your VoIP to auto-answer calls and you’ll be able to dial home and see what the webcam shows.
