hi list and carol yes that is just about right. i know it costs but sometimes
in life you have to pay for some things. it is compleetly accesible from the
hand set or from the website that you use. it is a fantastic idea and yes if
the number is not shown or if the number is not on your star list truecall
intercepts the call and asks the caller to state who they are so then if they
do it rings you and you can hear them say who they are. now you can press one
to accept or you can decline the call. i know steve nut sells it the true call
so it is hard for him as a dealer to say a lot about it but again for us it
works.
