You can also just dial any phone number directly by choosing Call from the Phone Amego menu bar item and typing the number in a pop-up window. You can also send SMS messages to one or more phone numbers via Google Voice for free. In this case, Google Voice actually calls your phone and the recipient’s phone and then connects the two calls together. If you use Google Voice, Phone Amego can place calls through Google Voice so your Google Voice number shows up for the recipient via Caller ID. Phone Amego has a few other features too. Then the task becomes: press Control-Space to activate LaunchBar, type “Mark”, press Return, verify that Phone Amego is set to dial the right number, and press Return again. If even that seems like more work than is ideal, if you have LaunchBar installed, Phone Amego comes with a script that automatically dials phone numbers found via LaunchBar.
This too disappeared from Address Book in Leopard.
Or, if you have Phone Amego running, you could look Mark up in Address Book on your Mac, click the phone number label, and choose Dial with Phone Amego from the pop-up menu that appears.
#PHONE AMEGO WINDOWS D BLUETOOTH#
It’s not hard, but it is quite a few actions to perform (and it might be more difficult with a different Bluetooth phone). You could pull your iPhone out of your pocket, press the Home button, unlock it, tap the Phone icon, tap the contacts icon, scroll until you find Mark’s entry, and tap it to call.
#PHONE AMEGO WINDOWS D MAC#
(This was a feature of Address Book in Tiger, but it went away in Leopard.)Īnother scenario: You’re at your Mac and you need to call your colleague Mark. Or, if you had Sustainable Softworks’ new Phone Amego application loaded and paired with your iPhone, you’d just glance at a little pop-up window on your Mac to see who was calling and, if you desire, send the call directly to voicemail by closing the window. You could pull it out, check the caller ID, and decide whether or not your want to answer. You’re sitting at your Mac, working away, and the phone in your pocket rings. Imagine – and this shouldn’t be too hard for many people – that you have a Mac and an iPhone (or other Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone – I don’t have one of those, so I’m concentrating on the iPhone here).
