I have tried couple of different software for MCI. This wins hands down. This is why.

1. Neat Macesque interface both with use as well as notifications which is after all the end result that we are looking for.
2. Reverse look up that works like a breeze. It incorporates the result within the growl notification or the native display. Excellent presentation.
3. Outstanding developer support - by far one of the best I have experienced in all sorts of software I have tried.

What I would like to see in the future

Enhanced browser integration. There already exists services that are incorporated with mac osx but if it can go a step further so you simply click on the number.

Thanks.

Still no AirPlay support, one of my long requested features...

I have found Phone Amego's Google Voice/Talk errors confusing, and unreliable overall -- better reporting of errors is needed.

Also, this is a release candidate, so why ask for money on an incomplete version -- I would have waited till 1.4 was final.

Overall, this is the best telephony integration tool I've used on Mac, only other thing I can think of is integrating an actual SIP client, like the open source Telephone -- then it could have it all.

10.8 will bring systemwide AirPlay, so that should solve that feature...

I wish this app could RECEIVE Google Voice calls, not *just* initiate them...

Since my earlier 5-star review, I discovered another great feature of Phone Amego:

One Mac with a USB modem can perform caller ID and dialing for other Macs on the LAN -- Phone Amegos on all Macs "talk" to each other.

Actually the features do work in the UK. The key is how you connect your phone(s) to your Mac. For a landline phone, you'll need a USB modem that is compatible with the phone system in the UK (not hard to find).

So what is an "amego" anyway? A misspelling of "amigo" perhaps?

Yes, I wanted a unique name that was easy to remember, so I chose to mis-spell it (as a kind of search optimization :-)

Works great!

iMac sharing landline with MBP provides caller ID and dialing from both Macs. Easily integrated with BuddyPop (anyone else still using that? ;-) and LaunchBar for dialing.

Each Mac paired with separate iPhone also works great.

Set up was easy and pretty straight forward.

Small issue quickly resolved by developer. That makes me happy!

Replaced another program that has always proven to be problematic and unreliable for me. With fix (noted above) PA has been absolutely reliable.

Highly recommended!

Here's hoping for an AirPlay feature for remote call audio speakerphone functionality. ;)

This app is currently best of breed in this category, IMHO. I use it regularly.

Phone Amego provides on-screen Caller ID, click-to-dial, and Mac integration with Address Book, iCal, AppleScript, and more. It does not work with Magic Jack at this time.

Magic Jack essentially combines two telephone system components into a simple plug-and-play solution using software on your computer along with the Magic Jack hardware:
(1) a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone adaptor that runs as software on your computer.
(2) a VoIP telephone service that costs nominally $20/year for nationwide long distance.

You can achieve a similar result with a dedicated VoIP telephone adaptor by using Google Voice and/or other Internet Telephone Service Providers.

What's unique about Phone Amego is that it works with iPhone, Landlines, VoIP, Google Voice, and provides extensive Mac integration.

I cannot seem to be able to get it to display the caller ID of the incoming call. Using USB modem with home line. The caller ID works OK with Cidney so it must be something in my setup. If I use PA for dial out it displays the phone on two computers as expected via Growl but when I have incoming call it does not. Any suggestions?
