- Answer voice mail immediately (instead of waiting set number of rings) or optionally, forward directly to the appropriate voice mail box
- Customize greeting messages
- Call blocking (plays greeting but then hangs up, can block faxes and voice calls)
Flexible Dialing

Apple Modem Support
- PhoneValet uses the Apple USB modem or a compatible internal modem (download modem test program)
- Modem can still be used for dial-up Internet service as needed — PhoneValet will yield the modem automatically for the Mac OS dialup Internet feature, and will start monitoring for calls again after the modem hangs up.
- Modem can be used to send faxes — PhoneValet will yield the modem automatically for your fax sending software and will start monitoring for calls again after the fax finishes sending.
- If you have a fax machine that shares the line with voice calls, PhoneValet will suspend voice mail when a fax is coming in and allow the machine to take the call
- When used with PhoneValet Home Edition, Apple modem cannot be used to receive faxes
