Your telephone can be a powerful tool, but it takes
time to use it effectively. Instead of hiring a personal
assistant, let PhoneValet answer and place calls, look up
phone numbers, make recordings of calls and keep a call
history. With PhoneValet you can focus on the important
tasks in life and work.
Winner of multiple awards, including a MacWorld
Magazine Best Product award, PhoneValet includes the
hardware you'll need to monitor your first line. But
PhoneValet isn't a single-line system... Purchase a
PhoneValet package for each line and they'll all work
together, keeping track of what happened on which line so
you can keep track of calls and expenses!
Read on to find out how PhoneValet can revolutionize
the way you use the phone. Click the magnifying glass
icons, or the more links to see screenshots and a complete
description of each benefit.
- Voice Mail: A professional image... 24x7
PhoneValet helps you to look your best even when you
can't make it to the phone. PhoneValet can handle all
your lines at the same time, has multiple mailboxes, and
listening to messages couldn't be easier. Plus, our
information center feature lets your callers hear
answers to common questions, and still leave a message!
- Call Recordings: Know what you said, and when!
Do you prefer to focus on conversation rather than
note-taking? Do you ever need an exact record of what
you said on the phone? PhoneValet to the rescue! Now you
can record both sides of a conversation to an audio file
on your hard disk for later reference.
- Call Log: Track your calls – Billings made easy!
PhoneValet's call log is a permanent, multi-line
call history. It's a searchable list of your inbound and
outbound calls along with accurate timing and the
recordings and messages attached to those calls.
PhoneValet even logs hand-dialed calls on extension
phones! Records can be exported for easy billings. Fully
spotlight aware.
- Call Announcement: Greet callers appropriately
With PhoneValet, you'll know who's calling before
you answer the phone – with no more running for the
Caller ID box! Caller ID information is clearly
displayed in large type on the screen, as the caller's
name is announced using Apple's natural-sounding speech
synthesis!
- Remote Control: Dial in to task your Mac
Call in and control your Mac from away. You can cause it
to perform an action, play you an audio file over the
telephone, or speak text to you as it carries out your
request. Use it to interface with your Mac-based X-10
home controller, launch administrative tasks... the
possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
- Dialing: Accurate, powerful & system-wide
Smart dialing from any application... PhoneValet
provides it! Select virtually any number onscreen and
when you're ready to place the call just pick up the
phone and PhoneValet dials for you. Powerful dialing
rules let you automate the use of calling cards and
long-distance access numbers, as well as 10- and
11-digit dialing.
- AppleScripts: Now Phone Powered!
We provide AppleScripts that you can use in popular
applications like FileMaker and Entourage
to interact with PhoneValet. Also, for those users who
wish to go beyond PhoneValet's powerful built-in
features, AppleScripts can be run at key times, like
when a telephone is picked up, or when a voice mail
message has been received. Plus, PhoneValet's Remote
Control feature lets you call in to start AppleScripts
when you're away from your Mac!
- Fax Friendly: True office integration
PhoneValet is fax friendly. When an incoming fax call is
detected PhoneValet's advanced voice mail system can
direct Apple's built-in fax software or the more
powerful pagesender fax solution to answer the call.
Alternately, PhoneValet can monitor the call until it is
answered by a fax machine which supports incoming fax
detection. With PhoneValet, you may be able to do away
with your dedicated fax line!
- Intuitive Mac OS X Interface
PhoneValet is a stable and friendly software package
that does not require you to be a Mac OS X wizard. Like
Mac OS X itself, PhoneValet just works "right out of the
box" without extensive preferences or customizations.
Mailbox setup is easily performed using our intuitive
program. There are no complex folder hierarchies to
create or maintain. PhoneValet is friendly to fast-user
switching, and core features continue to work even when
no users are logged in and the PhoneValet application is
not running. With years of experience in Mac OS X and
precursor technologies we know how to produce software
that works the way you do.
PhoneValet Mac Caller ID is a combination of software
and hardware. When you purchase PhoneValet Mac Caller ID
all required hardware and cables are included. Since this
hardware is required for the PhoneValet Mac Caller ID
software to operate we do not offer a demo software
download.

Instead of offering a software download, we are pleased
to offer a 30 day money-back guarantee, which will allow
you a full month to try our software in your particular
situation. If PhoneValet Mac Caller ID doesn't meet your
needs you can return it – no questions asked – for a full
refund within thirty days.
You don't need to do anything special to benefit from
this offer, just order from this website. You'll get to
try out the full PhoneValet Mac Caller ID system (all
software and hardware included) on your phone lines in the
way you want to use it. If it doesn't work to your
satisfaction we'll take it back.
