Using Phone Amego, you can dial calls or send SMS directly from your Address Book taking advantage of Google's free service.When a call comes in (on your Bluetooth phone), Phone Amego flashes up a semi-transparent status window with the callers name and image from your Address Book if any.To refuse an incoming call, press the close button in the upper left corner of the window. This will generally send the caller to your voice mail depending on your service. To place a call from your Address Book, click and hold over the label for the desired phone number. When the menu appears, select "Dial with Phone Amego".Phone Amego will display a semi-transparent window showing the status of your outgoing call. To cancel, press the close button.Phone Amego normally appears as a status bar item with a pull-down menu.The phone image will change color to indicate whether a connected device is in range (blue), out of range (gray), or a call is in progress (green).

Most of the controls are self explanatory.You can set Phone Amego to monitor whether a paired Bluetooth phone is in range, and notify you when a call is received.You can have Phone Amego start automatically each time you login to your computer.You can have Phone Amego install or remove a simple Address Book plug-in that allows you to dial calls from Apple's Address Book application.If you have a Google Voice account, you can set Phone Amego to place calls through Google Voice so that your Google Voice number will appear as the caller to the person you are calling.This feature logs in to your Google Voice account over the web so it can work with any phone you have designated to receive calls via Google Voice including your office phone or iPhone. It does not require Bluetooth. When placing a call, Google voice will ring the local "forwarding number" you specify as well as calling the outgoing number you select from your Address Book.To use Google Voice, you must setup your account information. Your password will be stored in the default Keychain.Bluetooth Device - If you have a Bluetooth cell phone that you have paired with your computer, you can select this device. Phone Amego scans to see if your phone is turned on and within range approximately every 30 seconds and will connect automatically as needed.Phone Amego works with Bluetooth phones that recognize AT commands using the Serial Port Profile (SPP). This includes many Bluetooth phones such as those made by Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. It does not include the iPhone at this time (I'm investigating), but you can still use the Google Voice dialer since it does not require a Bluetooth connection.AppleScriptsYou can have Phone Amego launch an Apple script for the following events:· Out of Range· In Range· Incoming Call· Call Answer· Call EndFor example, you could have Phone Amego pause iTunes when you answer a call.

Sending is free, but the recipient may be charged for the message depending on their cell phone plan. Google Voice does not support International SMS at this time. Pressing "SMS with Phone Amego" from your Address Book will bring up the Send SMS window.Once the window appears, you can specify additional recipients by selecting different numbers from your Address Book. Since Google Voice does not support "bulk messaging" at this time, Phone Amego will send the message to one recipient after another every few seconds. Sending messages to a group of contacts is especially convenient when your plans change at the last minute since people who might not have a chance to check their Email will still have their cell phones with them. Limitations: · 21 days trial period. What's New in This Release: · Added "Dialing Options" to support international and 7-digit dialing. · Skip reverse lookup if received caller ID name from phone.
