What can I do with Neighborhood CallManager?

Whenever an incoming call arrives at your subscribed telephone number, CallManager alerts you with a pop-up message on your computer screen. When you see this alert, you may choose to transfer the call to another number; type a message that will be read for your caller; play a custom or system message for your caller; or do nothing and the call will continue to Voicemail.

Will my messages still go to my current Voicemail box?

Yes! All of your incoming calls will continue to Voicemail unless you choose to intercept them. You will be able to listen to your Voicemail messages on the telephone, just like today, or on your computer with CallManager.

How do I know if my Neighborhood CallManager is active?

Your CallManager is active when the computer icon at the bottom of the CallManager program says "Online" or when your Overview page indicates that you are "Connected." If you are not "Online" or "Connected," then your CallManager is not active. Please verify that you have an active internet connection so that you can begin using all the great features.

I tried to play a message, and I can't hear anything. What should I do?

Please check the volume setting on your computer. If your sound is turned off or set to "mute," you will not be able to hear your messages.

Can I download Neighborhood CallManager more than once?

Yes! You can download Neighborhood CallManager on multiple computers. Please visit the download page from each computer and complete the download process. If you completed the User Set Up wizard during your first download, your selections will be pre-populated when you download each additional time. NOTE: Some companies do not allow employees to download software.

Back to the top




Can two people use the software at the same time?

Yes! Each user can download CallManager onto their own computer for access to the features. When the software is available for two users, the first person to intercept the call will have the ability to transfer, play a message, or type a message for the caller. The second user can view the activity for that call to see what happened. If neither person intercepts the call, the call will continue to Voicemail, as usual.
