Call Whisper

Call Whisper, otherwise known as call screening, is a calling feature that often appears on non-geographic telephony systems and hosted inbound call handling software. It involves the playing of a message to the called party when they have answered a call, during which time the calling party continues to hear ringing. The called party can then decide whether to accept the call (usually by pressing a particular key whereupon the call will be put through to them) or to reject it (either by pressing a key or simply hanging up). They can also identify the caller by their Caller ID number or answer the phone in an appropriate manner for the number that has been dialled.

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or whisper:

    I cannot speke and loke lyke a saynct,
    Use wiles for witt and make deceyt a pleasure,
    And call crafft counsell, for proffet styll to paint.
    I cannot wrest the law to fill the coffer
    With innocent blode to fede my sellff fat,
    And doo most hurt where most hellp I offer.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The bay-trees in our country are all withered,
    And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven.
    The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,
    And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change.
    Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap;
    The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
    The other to enjoy by rage and war.
    These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
