Hi Mo
No problem, I take your point entirely if that was your experience. We like
it simply to cut out all these nuisance people who ring up telling you that
your PC is faulty, and need you to log on in the hope that these creeps can
hack into your system. And then there are all the other cold callers. I
just love that zap key! I also find it useful if we have been out, and come
home to hear it pinging periodically to let us know someone has rung. Yes
the 1471 service is there, but Truecall definitely doesn't let you forget to
check your phone that's for sure! (smile).
Not sure about the subscription, we haven't opted to do this as the machine
as it stands is enough for our needs. I hope you find something suitable
though Mo.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

hi Jackie,
Yes, i've already given the truecall machines a try. i found that for
the price they were charging, it just wasn't worth it. their system for
updating the software needs updating, it would've been nice if it just
had a port on the back to connect to your local network so you could
control it via the web. also, the last straw came when my memory card
got corrupted erasing all recordings and i had to send it back to them
for repair. this seemed to happen for no reason at all, so i gave up and
soled the unit on. In my humble opinion, when you're spending £125 on a
unit of this kind, you should be able at least to restore the card to
factory defaults without sending it back to them like its something
exclusive. Many thanks for the suggestion all the same, its much
appreciated.
Mo.
