Posted May 9th 2008 11:01AM by Laura Peterson
Hi Everyone, I've asked Corilee from the AOL Voice team to tell you more about the latest product, AIM Call Out (which works in the latest AOL Desktop Beta), as well as AOL Call Alert, which has always been a great way of tracking and managing incoming calls while you're away from your phone or on a dial-up connection.
To celebrate Mother's Day, all calls made on May 10th and 11th will be FREE! Download AOL Desktop Beta (codename: Nexus) here to use AIM Call Out. Of course, you can also use AIM Call Out in AIM 6.5.
Have a great weekend,
Laura ---
Thanks Laura. Our team recently launched AIM Call Out, a service that lets you make phone calls at your PC using AIM or AOL. Those of you using the new AOL Desktop Beta (codename: Nexus), will want to know that the built-in AIM Call Out service will be free this Mother's Day weekend, May 10th - 11th. You can make as many calls as you want to more than 200 countries. Make calls right from your PC using a headset or a microphone and speakers, or set up a call between two phones using the Web Connect feature.
Here's a screenshot of AIM Call Out inside of AIM:

For those of you who still rely on your landline or cell phone, don't you hate missing calls when you're on dial-up? That's where AOL Call Alert comes in -- it lets you track incoming calls, forward them to voicemail, or answer the call at your PC. With AOL Call Alert, whenever someone calls you get an instant alert window in AOL Desktop to let you know who it is, even while you're on dial-up.
