The PhoneBOT turns your computer and dialup modem into a powerful PC answering machine for your home or office telephone line but with amazing capabilities.

First, when the phone rings, PhoneBOT will alert you by verbally announcing who is calling using callerID and windows speech technology. A custom "skinable" window appears detailing the callerID info as well as any image you have associated with that caller. (ie, a picture of mom when she calls will appear)

Also with CallerID, a custom greeting can be played for the caller. So when co workers call they hear one greeting and when friends call they hear another. This can be a lot of fun to play with!

After recording the message PhoneBOT will email or text message your cel phone with a new call message including call length, name and number.

You can even do a reverse lookup with a click of the mouse and see a mapquest style map of where the call is coming from! amazing!

To retrieve your new voice message you can call and enter a pin, or simply type your IP address in any web browser and stream your voicemail over the internet!!! All you need is a broadband connection at home.

The phonebot also features downloadable UI skins and screensavers displaying answering machine status.
