Question

Is there any software so I can answer my normal telephone calls on my computer?

Answer 1

yes...there are several ways to do it...!

SIP....like skype and VoIP...like vonage.......or you can get a phone-modem and the software....you will have to pay for the software a one time fee...

the latest on the market is the vonage/skype killer!!!

you just plug it into the USB port....and use any old phone to make and receive calls....it even has E911...this is the only thing where you don't need anything but plug in and play!

there is a modem out there, and also the software, but its just too complicated and the software is around 100 dollars...just too much!!

Answer 2

Mac or Windows??

please specify in aditional details.

The only phone service I know of is Skype - and thats only for Mac OS X.

P.S.  Why would you want to do this.

If you want to use your computer to interface with your PSTN telephone line, then NCH Swift Sound specializes in computer software that interfaces with your normal PSTN land-line and telephone:

And, if you are the adventurous type, like me, they also have a configurable VoIP Soft-phone that that can be configured with any SIP VoIP service that allows BYOD (bring your own device).
