Now you know not all Telecom tech has to Mobile – sometimes, you gotta look closer to home to see where improvements can be made. For example, I wrote a piece the other day about why Home (landline) phone technology is seemingly 10 years behind where Mobiles are today. Another irritation of course are that range of calls you receive which are not wanted – salesmen, dead-air calls, and random strangers.
Well at the Gadget Show Live 2009, Truecall have the solution with their product – a box that fits in-line with the phone line coming in to the house, and acting as a filter. It has an answering machine built-in, but get this – it can be programmed to filter how you want, and because it has it’s own modem, it dials up a web–accessible portal where you can review call logs. As if that weren’t enough, stuff an SD card in the side and it will record all your conversations! Awesome!
I’m hoping to get one of these bad boys to review at some point, so I’ll come back with something more detailed then – but for the meantime, if you wanna know more, check their site here.
