How do I use my PC to answer phone calls? No VoIP, POTS.?

Question

I want to use my headset connected to my PC to answer phone calls. My PC as a modem RJ 45 socket. I dont want to use any VOIP solution. I know it should be possible because I've received faxes with my PC so it should be something similar

Answer 1

The first program below claims to be capable of allowing you to use your pc as an ordinary phone. I haven't got the right lead to try it out.

The second program makes similar claims, but also has answer machine capabilities.

Answer 2

try skype its pretty kool

Answer 3

Fax and Voice are not similar.  You were able to receive faxes because you have a fax communications software on your computer to do so.  If you want to do voice, you need some kind of voice communications software, which I do not think exists.

Answer 4

no matter how you slice it, its "all" VoIP voice over Internet protocol....some use software , some use a modem....! I'm not sure what you're looking for??

Answer 5

You need a phone communication software to do that. I have used it before I started using Skype. The phone communication software comes with a dial pad. I’m not sure why you don’t want to use FREE Voip. Any particular reason for that??

There are many free VoIP providers – Skype, AOL, Google Talk etc. Some of these free Voip services come with a trial VoIP phone service also. You can use your headset with these Free VoIP. I would highly recommend using free VoIP. Here’s some info on free voip:
