Is there any software product out there I can download to act as an answerphone instead of paying for Call minder?

If so, can you create menu options eg If you want such and such press 1 press 2 etc so people can leave different messages in different voice mailboxes.

Even better if it is freeware!

Cheers,

freeware answerphone software
into Google.

But its not all that good in practice, unless you have a very good external serial RS232 dial-up modem, you are likely to get glitches that means the modem fails to disconnect etc with cheap internal modems.

Played with software a few years back (software was budled with a good modem) but a stand-alone answerphone was still much better. People are less than impressed having to listen to a message and press a key etc, they hate it with a vengance with banks and teleco's, why would you subject them to more?

But still none are as convenient as Call Minder.
