I came here to suggest Google Voice, but I see that I'm late...so fuck you.

The Google Voice seems pretty good and it worked when she dialed the number. The crappy thing is that the first time she called, she had to say her name before the call was put through and I answered her call.

She called a second time to test what happens when it goes to voice mail. This time she didn't have to say her name.

The 2nd call went to Google Voice VM and they transcribed her message into a text that was sent to my phone. That was kind of cool!

I still am not a fan of potential clients being prompted to state their name before their first call goes through. The GF said she would probably hang up before she'd give out her name. It could mean I would lose some business.

It looks like if you turn off call screening it will not ask for their name
