Terrific product! [Posted on 2003-08-13]
I previously used an Internet Call Waiting service from my phone company while I surfed the Net, but when I changed to a different phone company, I had to find something else. The online services I investigated did not allow me to just answer my call and talk (they wanted to take a message for me), or they wanted to charge me for the privilege. I bought HotCall and solved my problem instantly. It works just as advertised and I'm completely satisfied. It connected quickly to my phone, and now when I'm online, an incoming call sounds a tone and a light flashes, and the caller's name and number are displayed. Even if you step away from the computer and miss a call, a New Call light appears and a convenient button allows you to immediately call back the party. Don't expect to keep surfing the Internet for very long while you talk, but I've been able to fend off telemarketers quickly and stay connected. I've also been able to ignore a call and continue on the Internet. This is a great product and I wish I had bought it a long time ago instead of paying monthly charges. One of the best features is that HotCall doesn't put ANY software on your computer, no ads, no pop-ups, nothing. When you answer, it's just like answering call-waiting, no ads for the caller to hear. I love it!

Simply doesn't work. [Posted on 2003-11-04]
I got this for my father as a gift. It occasionally works for a call or two, then just stops. Sometimes it messes up the dial up connection; sometimes it doesn't let you call out. Sometimes it picks up the call; sometimes it doesn't. We've tried a second one...no luck. It sounds so simple, but it just doesn't work.
Unsatisfied Customer [Posted on 2004-01-15]
Purchased unit new (at least it was said to be ).
There were many features on the device that didn't work at all, worked improperly or functioned intermittently.
The unit also appeared to have used and returned by a previous customer. There were about 20 calls stored on the caller ID log; and the LCD plastic film protector had already been peeled off and was stuck to the side of the box.
Couldn't be any simpler or better! [Posted on 2004-03-01]
I finally upgraded from the Hotcall 3000 to this new 4000 model and it's made a major difference in the way I can be online now. I was happy with the old unit but never knew if I should pick up the phone and lose my connection (especially if I was playing an online game, knowing it'd be over if I picked up). Now I can see who's actually calling and decide if it's worth picking up, but more importantly I know who it was, so I can always call them back later. Very nice, as simple as hooking up an answering machine, and the loud ring is less annoying than the older units as well :) I haven't had any problems at all with getting calls, missing calls, or anything else mentioned. As with any strange electronics device, I'd have to say half of the blame of malfuction (unless it's a defective unit) is going to be the fault of the user and the setup they've created for it. But hey, I've got TWO phones (with a jack splitter, in case you're wondering) and an answering machine hooked into mine, and it still works flawlessly. I don't know how to make it NOT work :)
