The Internet
Answering Machine (IAM) is a software download for
Windows-based PCs which captures incoming phone calls
which may otherwise be missed while the user is online.
The software presents a small on-screen window that appears
each time the user goes online, and allows them to see
and hear messages left for them while online.
IAM can be utilized
two ways.
1. The user can setup IAM to work in
conjunction with the Busy Call Forwarding feature of their
phone line; in which case callers would simply telephone
the online user with their actual telephone number, as
they would normally, with the telephone calls that are
received while the user is online automatically routed
to the IAM service. Users should note that "Busy
Call Forwarding" for your phone line must be setup
directly through your telephone service provider; this
feature is typically not free and is priced independently
by each telco.
2. The
second way is via an 877 number provided by CallWave.
In this configuration, people who wish to contact a user
who is online must call a designated 877 number, and then
follow the instructions (inputting the user's actual number,
for example) to leave a message that will then be forwarded
to the online user. The CallWave members section contains
tools helping the user to notify their friends of the
877 number for leaving them messages.
IAM works with your local
ISP (including AOL) and is available throughout the US.
Originally a free service, CallWave now charges for the
service when it is used with Busy Call Forwarding (the
first configuration described above). Pricing is set at
$3.95/month, or $2.95/month when an advance annual subscription
is purchased. In return for the new pricing, CallWave
states that additional premium services will be offered
to customers, including support for CallerID. The 877-number
configuration of CallWave is still available, though it
is not directly advertised on the CallWave site (it becomes
an option after the initial free product evaluation period
expires). Additionally, CallWave offers their "Lifeline"
service, wherein certain individuals may qualify to continue
using the CallWave service (with Busy Call Forwarding)
free.

How much does it
cost?
Nothing really, at least, not in cash. The service is
absolutely free and is supported by advertisements. Callwave
generates revenue from banner and text advertisements.
The advertising banners appear within the Internet Answering
Machine window when you're connected to the Internet.
Banner advertisements are rotated in the display area
when you are not receiving messages. However your phone
company may charge you some nominal amount if you choose
to avail "Call Forward On Busy".
