Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

HotCall 3000 Plus lets you identify the caller before you interrupt your Internet session. How? Using call waiting caller ID (if provided by the phone company), HotCall monitors your phone for incoming calls while you're online. A flashing light and ring will alert you when someone is attempting to call.

When HotCall is activated, you can decide what to do with the call: You can take the call, and HotCall will automatically terminate your modem connection. You can find out if the call is urgent, and in most cases HotCall will maintain your modem connection for several seconds, allowing you to resume your Internet use. Or, if you wish, the caller can leave a message with voice mail if it is provided by the phone company.

End continuous busy signals by using your modem without disabling call waiting. HotCall is compatible with the phone company's voice mail, so callers can leave messages while you're online. HotCall is easy to install--simply connect each device and plug it into an AC outlet.

HotCall is designed and manufactured by Command Communications, the inventor of the original fax switch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes it's not so Hot, June 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Command Communications HC3000 HotCall Plus (Electronics)

The Hotcall 3000 is useful to me,I like its compact size and always picks up the calls when I'm online. However sometimes it rings for no reason, and when I pick up the phone I only get the chance to say "Hello" and I get disconnected, I was under the impression that I'd stay connected for more than 10 seconds, but I was wrong. It's not all bad though, I always know who's calling me, and have the option to answer. That's why I got it in the first place.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just get another phone line!!!!!!!!, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Command Communications HC3000 HotCall Plus (Electronics)

I purchased this product and have had nothing but problems. The first one I bought was no good had to return it. The second one allowed me to answer my phone but wouldnt display the name. After about 20 calls to customer support, the tech. told me that my win modem was not compatible with the hc3000. This was after having to search for the proper ID box, Putting my phone company through the ringer and a couple trips to the store. Just put a second phone line in the house you are better off. Unless you dont mind putting an older slower modem in your CPU, and paying well beyond an above what you expected to.

I ended up returning this item because after many, many calls to tech support and numerous calls to my phone company, it was finally determined that my win modem wasn't compatible with this product...bummer!
