Kall8 Additional Features
As well as toll free numbers and the features mentioned above, there is more to Kall8. Here is some more information on their additional features:
Information emails: Each time someone calls your Kall8 number, you will receive an email notification. The email will include the caller’s ID, the number the call was rerouted to, the date and time the call was made, and the length of the call. You can receive all of this information even if you don’t record your calls.
Voicemail: Each time you send a call to voicemail, you can receive the recorded message in your email as a .wav file. As well as regular calls, you can also send blocked calls to voicemail.
