Parliant Corp. has released PhoneValet Home Edition: a telephone assistant designed to simplify life for busy households and families by announcing callers aloud and delivering personal voice mail by email, according to Parliant President Kevin Ford.
PhoneValet Home Edition helps the right person answer first, handles junk calls, plays ring tones, dials calls and gives each family member their own mailbox, he adds. When the caller’s name is announced aloud, the right person answers or the call goes to voice mail. Ring tones identify special callers. You can teach PhoneValet about repetitive junk callers and it answers them right away, declines the call and hangs up.
While PhoneValet Home Edition includes key family-friendly features, PhoneValet Message Center is still recommended for small business, says Ford. The Message Center includes a larger voicemail system with automated attendant, supports multiple lines, records calls and more.
A free 30-day trial of PhoneValet Home Edition is downloadable at the Parliant web site. It costs US$49.95 and PhoneValet Anywhere, which adds web access and network call announcements, is $22.50 when purchased at the same time. The “Macsimum MWSF 2007 Coupon Book” is available for download. You can find it here and print it as a PDF. It has discounts, special offers and promotions in conjunction with the upcoming Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
