This is a grand little application in its latest version. Lee Cohen, the author has given specific permission for us to distribute Mac CallerID. Do not place this program on any other Online system without the specific permission of Mr. Cohen.
DESCRIPTION
Mac CallerID© is a shareware application that will display and
store specific information provided by your local telephone
company. You must subscribe to your local telephone company’s
“caller information and identification service,” commonly known
as Caller ID. This application is similar to the Caller ID
boxes available in many stores, but is available at a fraction
of the cost. A lot of work went into the application, and
hopefully you will agree that it is worth the nominal fee or
more.
The caller's name, number, date and time can be displayed as
a single call or in a list of all calls. Mac CallerID should
work in the United States, Canada and Sweden.
Mac CallerID© REQUIRES THAT YOU ARE IN AN AREA WHERE CALLER ID
IS AVAILABLE, YOU ARE A SUBSCRIBER AND HAVE A MODEM THAT
SUPPORTS CALLER ID.
What is Caller ID?
Caller ID is a way for you to determine who is calling before
you answer the phone. Between the first and second rings,
the phone company sends information about who is calling.
Not all the information is always available, many times the
call might have originated from an area that does not support
Caller ID. At other times the call may be blocked by the
calling party.
