| Regarding voicemail
We solved the voicemail/timestamp issue by getting a digital answering machine. Much more convenient to get the calls off the answering maching either at home or remotely. Voicemail is only used for ignored call waiting calls.
Or, with a bit of plodding, you could check the incoming calls on the call log against the voicemail and get the time of the call that way.
Or you could have them send you an email every time you get a voicemail, and the time information will be on the email.
The Caller ID thing is 'iffy'. Some see our name, others don't. I guess it depends on what data source the person receiving your call has with their service.
I agree with your assessment of VoicePulse. I've only been with them for a year and have been very pleased. With all the features for a mere $15.89 per month, how could we go wrong? |

| I appreciate your attempt to provide us with a workaround to the time stamp issue. To me the time stamp has the most use when you are actually listening to a message. I have used the call log from the website a few times when it was really important to track down the time a call came in. It just shouldn't be necessary.
My wife and I think it is rude to interrupt someone's call with call waiting so we have it turned off. We want voice mail in particular for those occasions. Going back to an answering machine is not desirable since it cannot take a message when the phone is "busy." |

Silver Spring, MD | Well, I certainly won't 'attempt' to make any suggestions to you again. You seem to have your mind made up. |

Big Rapids, MI | My use of the word "attempt" was not intended disparagingly. I'm sorry you took offense at it. |
