Just dial any one of the Voice Mail access numbers and make outbound calls before, during or after checking your voice messages. You even have the option of using your Kall8 number as your caller ID.

Calls from blocked areas/numbers can be sent to a busy signal, continuous ringing, an error message, or directly to voice mail. More Info |
| Custom Call Forwarding | Set a schedule to automatically forward your calls to different numbers based on one or all of the following: time, day, area code, specific number or the state from which the call originated. More Info |

For example, if you have multiple toll free numbers set to ring the same phone, displaying the Kall8 number as the Caller ID will allow you to identify which toll free number was dialed and answer the call appropriately. |

| Limited Account Logins | Set up a Limited Login that will allow the user to have online access only to their specific toll free number. This type of login gives the user access to all aspects of that particular number except the ability to view any billing or account management information. This is especially useful for corporate accounts with multiple users or resellers who wish to give their customers access only to their specific information. |
| Location Account Logins | Set up multiple users on a single toll free number using Custom Call Forwarding, then, using Location Logins, give each user the ability to track their calls without being able to see the calls of the other users. Location Logins are based on the ring-to number rather than on the Kall8 number itself. The users will be able to see the Call Detail and Campaign Analysis for calls that ring to their number only. |
| Cell/PDA Users | Manage your Kall8 account online from your cell phone or PDA. The Cell/PDA Users link offers a scaled down version of the Kall8 website so it is compatible with this equipment. |
