While You Were Out - The replacement for the pink message pad.
Inspiration sometimes comes in the most unlikely of places. While You Were Out was
inspired by an office where I couldn't find a message pad or a pen. I thought to
myself "Self? Wouldn't it be easier if there was always a message pad handy?" And
self replied "Why, yes...yes it would. And while you're at it, why don't you make
it send the message via email?"
Why not just use voicemail?
Good question, but in this case voicemail wasn't available. Odds are, there are
more than a few small businesses out there where this is just the tool that's needed
to get the job done.
OK...so what does it do?
Quite simply, it provides an easy way to get a voicemail message to employees in
your small business.
When the phone rings, restore While You Were Out from the tray and input the caller's
information.
One exciting feature is the URGENT checkbox. If a user has set up their profile
to receive URGENT messages via SMS, a text message will be sent with the caller's
name, phone number and an excerpt of the message text. The full message will also
be delivered to the recipient.
Wow, this is cool! How do I get my copy?
While You Were Out is reasonably priced at $19.99 and we accept payments via PayPal.
Once payment has been received a copy of the application will be emailed to you.
What kind of guarantee do you offer?
We guarantee that once installed on your computer and configured properly, you will
never have to look for a pink pad or pen to take a phone message ever again.
Seriously, though...if you absolutely hate While You Were Out, just
contact us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund your purchase price.
