You also have to pay for any additional Airtime minutes
you want.)
Not just an Internet call alerts service -- BuzMe Plus
is a full-featured voicemail system!
With BuzMe Plus, you can throw away your answering machine,
because the service keeps track of messages you receive
while online or offline (but when you're unable to reach
the phone.)
The system shows that you have new messages in the BuzMe
alert window, but can also send alerts to your mobile
phone or your e-mail account. That makes it a lifesaver,
because you can find out when you get messages when you're
away from the home (or office) without having to call
in to check voicemail.
You also get a call log of incoming calls. You can download
calls as WAV files, if you want to store the messages
on your PC.
OK, all that is in addition to Internet Call Alerts
-- which show a Caller ID window when you get a call while
online. When you get a call while online, you can choose
to Accept calls, reply, ignore, or take a message.
Like BuzMe Online, anytime you use "Accept Call,"
you will have to pay Airtime minutes. You get 15 free
Airtime minutes each month, but if you find yourself accepting
calls often, you might want to purchase more. (Without
any remaining Airtime minutes, you can't Accept calls.)
See below for Airtime prices.
You will need to pay for Busy Call Forwarding and No
Answer Call Forwarding, which your telephone company provides.
Like with the other BuzMe services, you can import your
contact information from Microsoft Outlook.

Review Guy Says:
Woo-hoo! This is a great reason to get rid of that old
answering machine, because it's more advanced and more
useful. I like having BuzMe send me e-mails when I get
new messages -- that way, I don't have to call in to check
my voicemail all the time.
This is a great deal not only for home users but for
people running businesses out of their home.
Of course, you also get the Internet Call Alert features,
so you can stay online while still taking calls (or while
your children are online, as the case may be!)
Considering Airtime minutes and having to pay your telephone
company for Busy Call Forwarding and No Answer Call Waiting,
It's somewhat expensive. But you might still You also
might save money switching to this service, compared to
the cost of having an Internet Call Alert service plus
voicemail from your telephone provider.
