Catch-A-Call FAQ's
 Internet call waiting Can I surf the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time using Catch-A-Call? No. Catch-A-Call lets you receive incoming calls and faxes while you are on the Internet, but your Internet connection will be lost after a few moments. This is much better than callers getting a busy signal and not being able to reach you at all. At this time, there is no technology, other than DSL or Cable (which cost $50 per month), that allows you to talk on the phone and surf the Internet with only one phone line. When I take an incoming call and Catch-A-Call places my Internet connection "on hold", will my Internet connection be lost? Your Internet connection will disconnect after a short length of time, anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds. There is no way to predict just how long you will have before your Internet connection is lost. What's the difference between Catch-A-Call and Catch-A-Call GOLD? BOTH allow you to receive calls and faxes while you are on the Internet. The difference between the two is that Catch-A-Call GOLD will also route incoming fax calls to your fax machine while you are away. If a fax call comes in while you are gone and your answering machine picks up, Catch-A-Call GOLD will "listen" for a fax tone. If it detects one, it will automatically route the call to the attached fax machine. When Catch-A-Call alerts me of an incoming call while I am online, and I choose NOT to take the call, will the caller be forwarded to my answering machine? What about voice mail? Callers will NOT be forwarded to your answering machine, but they WILL be forwarded to voice mail, if you have that service. Your connection will NOT be lost if you choose not to take the call. When I get an incoming call while I am online, will Catch-A-Call ring or will my phone ring? Can I answer using ANY phone in the house? Only Catch-A-Call will ring (and flash a red light).
