Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) August 27, 2004 - ThePhoneBOT.com announced today the
availability of ThePhoneBOT version 4.0, the latest release of its popular
web-based voicemail retrieval software. Also released today is the new PhoneBOT
Remote Client application, an innovative new technology that allows users to
expand the Windows-based answering machine and voicemail screening capabilities
to serve multiple locations over networked PCs. Designed to replace a standard
home/office answering machine or telephone company voicemail, ThePhoneBOT and
PhoneBOT Remote Client software is now available for download at www.ThePhoneBOT.com
With ThePhoneBOT version 4.0
software and a compatible voice modem installed on a user’s PC, multiple Remote
Client PCs can now be connected via an IP address within the home, or between
home and office locations. When an incoming call arrives, ThePhoneBOT relays
caller-ID information and streams the voice of the caller as they are leaving
their voicemail message - all in real-time, with no delay - to multiple
networked PCs via the Remote Clients IP address.
“With ThePhoneBOT
installed at home, and the Remote Client at the office I hardly know where the
phone line is plugged in anymore!” said David Brown, a long-time customer of
ThePhoneBOT. “While I was used to earlier versions of ThePhoneBOT sending me
text messages whenever a voice message was waiting on my home phone, now I can
be working in my office and with the Remote Client a popup window appears the
instant someone calls my home, giving me the caller-ID information and even a
picture of the caller.”
Brown added, “Coolest of all I actually hear the
caller leaving the message - while they are leaving it! It’s like I am sitting
in front of the answering machine at home screening the call, only I’m miles
away… it’s quite amazing!”
Additional features in version 4.0 include a
built-in web server for online voicemail retrieval of saved messages from any
web browser, custom greetings for each caller, a skinable UI, and/or text
message alerts of new calls or voicemail. An ideal solution for a family or
small office with multiple computers, The PhoneBOT and the Remote Client
communicate over the Internet and / or over a local home network.
“Our
family has up to six computers – including laptops – typically running on our
home network. With ThePhoneBOT and the Remote Clients installed, now when the
telephone rings everyone in the family knows who it is, and who it is for, right
away!” said Kayla White, a real-estate agent and a new customer of ThePhoneBOT.
“Plus when I am in the office or at a local hotspot using the Wi-Fi connection
on my laptop, ThePhoneBOT Remote Client automatically connects me to my home and
doesn’t miss a beat!”
ThePhoneBOT and the new Remote Client application
extend ThePhoneBOT’s leadership in the Windows PC telephone answering machine
market. Users only need a Windows XP/2000 PC, soundcard, compatible voice modem
and a telephone line. A broadband internet connection and caller-ID
functionality provided by the phone company is also recommended, but not
required.
ThePhoneBOT and Remote Client software are available at www.ThePhoneBOT.com in two
versions. A freeware version, with a 20-second message limitation, and the
$39.95 full version. Unlimited Remote Clients are free with both versions. There
are no subscription or monthly fees for ThePhoneBOT.
