Google Voice Question?

[teamsaracino]

I have had google voice for about 2 weeks now, and I must say I like it alot. I use it mostly for outbound phone calls, and occasionally for inbound calls as well, however here is my question. Is there a way to turn off the function of when someone calls my google number that they have to record there name in order for the call to be connected? Sometimes customers call me on that number and it just seems a bit unnecessary. Thanks for your help.

Log into Google Voice and goto Settings. There is a setting that allows you to turn off "Call Screening".

No problemo. Had the same problem myself originally. =)

I'll also suggest looking into Magicall. I use it to autocall GoogleVoice and can setup scripts/rules for both calls and MMS as to what gets called and when. GoogleVoice only gets dialed for me M-F from 6:59am to 7:01pm.

I have attached the newest Magicall cab (from forum) along with the MordyT's rules template in order to create your own. You just need to chage the rule to use your own GV# and passcode.

***Note: If you click to purchase the app and then cancel the first time, a windows will pop asking if you want to use Trialplay for a free license. I did one of the instant free choices that I could cancel immediately after getting my free license key.

How do you use the MordyT .dat template file?

Where did you get this version of magicall. It seems newer than the one I have?

Just copy the mordt files to my documents - Magicall after installing software

I found it in the forums. Someone had problems with how Magicall dropped/ignored calls while already in another call. So he made an updated installer available. I'm not really sure why didn't put it on the primary download page.
