Know who is calling and choose to accept or reject their call with the press of a button! Call Screening is a convenient and easy-to-use Phone.com feature. To give you an idea of the full benefits of call screening, imagine the scenario below:

• Ring, ring! You receive a call to your Phone.com number that then forwards to your cell phone.
• When you answer, you hear “You have received a call to [Your Phone.com number] from [the caller's number]. Press 1 to accept. Press 2 to reject.“
• If you choose to answer, pressing 1 will automatically connect you with the caller.
• If you decide to let the call go, press 2 to reject and the call will be forwarded to the next Call Handling Rule for your number.

Note: Call screening is also useful in situations where you specify in your call handling rules that you want few phone numbers (like your cell and office phone) to ring at the same time. By specifying Call Screening on those situations you ensure that if a voicemail picks up at one of those phones the call to that phone will be ignored. Without Call Screening, your cell phone voicemail can grab the call before you had a chance to answer on the other phone that rings at the same time.
