Internet Call Manager Provides Dial-up Internet Users With A Low Cost
Alternative Solution For Managing Phone Calls While They're Online
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoInterActive Inc. (Montreal: IIA), a leading developer of convergent, network-based enhanced services, announced today that the company's patented Internet Call Manager service is now available to residents of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
InfoInterActive's unique Internet Call Manager technology provides Internet users with computer-screen notification of incoming telephone calls -- including caller identification -- while their phone line is otherwise tied up during Internet use. The service monitors the subscribers' phone line while they surf, send email, download files, or do anything on the Internet, solving the common problem faced by families and small businesses of missing incoming phone calls during Internet use. In addition, Internet Call Manager is available at a fraction of the cost of leasing a separate phone line.
"Someone's always on the Net in our house", said Hoppy Lacroix, ICM subscriber in Hammond, Louisiana, "and whether my kid needs a ride, my mother-in-law is sick, or my friends just want to chat, with ICM I know I never have to worry about missing their call."
Currently, the only solutions available to dial-up Internet users in this area are a second line that can cost as much as $20 per month plus a $50 installation charge, or high-speed ADSL solutions that range between $49 and $59 per month. Internet Call Manager can now relieve the missed-call problem for individuals and small businesses in this area for $5.00 per month or $25 for six months.
"Internet Call Manager is being used by thousands of subscribers in Canada, and is available from eight major North American telephone companies," said Bill McMullin, president and CEO of InfoInterActive. "With this launch, InfoInterActive has taken another giant leap towards our goal of putting Internet Call Manager in reach of every dial-up Internet user in America."
How Internet Call Manager Works
Customers can sign up at the Internet Call Manager web site (www.internetcallmanager.com) and download a small, easy-to-install piece of software -- all in a single visit. Internet Call Manager (ICM) then loads automatically each time the PC is started. When the subscriber is online and someone calls, the ICM system pops up a window on screen with the name and number of who is calling and provides several options for managing the call.
Internet Call Manager Key Features
* Displays the caller's name and number. For every caller, a small window
pops up with the telephone number and name of the caller.
* Choose to send an informative message to the caller, or ignore the call
in complete privacy.
* Instant Response Time Even During Downloads
With every call, the pop-up window gives the caller's information
instantly -- even while downloading large files. It doesn't matter what
ICM subscribers are doing online, their incoming calls get through.
* No Special Hardware or Software
ICM can be set up once and there's no maintenance or anything to
remember. There's no special hardware to buy, and subscribers don't
need to subscribe to Caller ID or Call Waiting service from their local
telephone company.
* Works with any Internet Service Provider, including AOL.
* Handy Call Log.
Internet Call Manager maintains a record of the last 80 callers whether
the service was used to manage them or not. Subscribers can browse
through the callers, or copy the records into their favorite address
book program.
