It doesn’t use your phone line. Callers dial your 800 number and hear your message(s). You can’t screen the calls because they go directly to voicemail. I have one of my mailboxes setup to forward the call to my cell phone if a caller wants to talk to me right away.
I use IVM Voice Mail (www.nch.com.au/ivm/). It simply is a software package for your home computer and has multiple mailboxes, menu items, etc. I love it.

Does this work if you have one line for internet and it’s not dsl. I have 2 lines in my house and I want some software to screen callers, take messages, etc. will this work with me only having one phone line?
thanks
I use the VoiceCom Basic Messaging. I sometimes have one account
for each property that I have for rent or sale. This way I
can customize the greeting for each property. You can also set it up as an
outgoing greeting only. It’s well worth the price at $9.95/mo
and I don’t tie up my Cellphone vm mailbox.
