Vonage Two options to handle the missing ACR feature:
1: Record the "anti-telemarketer"
Two options to handle the missing ACR feature:
1: Record the "anti-telemarketer" tone into your voicemail
I used to have the item in-line with my phone....Can't remeber the name of it but I know they have it at Radio Shack, Walmart, etc. Something like the "TeleZapper??". It works. You can put it in-line with your Vonage device or record the tones directly into your outgoing message in voicemail. (it works by playing certain tones before the call gets to you) Tones can be downloaded off the net. Google for "TeleZapper tones" or something similar. ALL my telemarketing call dropped rapidly after using this device.
2: Option 2: I use a product called CallStation on my PC. It is my primary voicemail and leaves Vonage as my seconday voicemail. I don't like call waiting so I turn it off...but I don't want to miss a call either...so if I am on the phone...Vonage picks up the voicemail and if I am not....Callstation does. Anyway, Callstation is $30 and comes with a TON of features including customizing message based on call-id, zapping unwanted callers (known, anonymous, private, anybody), grettings and behavior of the system based on a schedule, etc. Well worth the money. Again....I'm not awake yet so I don't know the URL but Google CallStation and it will take you to the site. There is a 30-day free trial. Just need a modem with Caller-id capable. I use a Zoom External modem plugged into my serial port and the Vonage device.
P.S. Callstation also announces callers via speech engine so you don't have to drop what your doing or even look at the phone. When a call comes in...just listen and Callstation tells you who it is.
Thanks.
