Caller ID over PC
Just curious, is it possible to get caller ID over my PC without a modem present in my PC? If so, what software can I use to do this?

$ 39.95 + shipping ($ 6.95 I think) which includes first year of service ($19.95)
requires highspeed intenet connection. You get a new phone # & area code of your choice.
Just Google, Bing, or Yahoo search MagicJack  | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Doc, does caller ID pop up on my PC when I get a call? If so and I have a browser open, does a pop up msg pop up on top of all active windows and not hide behind them when I receive a call?
Aslo, can I keep my current phone number and area code? | | My System Specs | | |
