features request

I like the features listed above.

Another feature I'd like to see is one I had with my last provider, a DND scheduler by day of week and time. I liked setting it up so as to not get calls late or in the middle of the night unless they were on my whitelist, with a message indicating I'm not accepting calls right now and to try back later as opposed to the busy signal or voicemail option now with no scheduler. Just my 2 cents.

I'd like to second the vote for scheduled DND. This was a killer feature for us on VoiceWing, having a 5-year-old who needs to be in bed earlier than some people who call us consider a polite time to stop calling.

We would probably always set it to go directly to voicemail.

While you're adding features to DND, I'd like a timed DND. CallVantage offers a scheduled DND (though their scheduling options are rather limited), which is nice; they do not offer a permanent-on DND. Their "do not disturb now" feature is timed in 30 min increments for up to 3 hours, I think. Once time is up, DND is canceled without having to dial a feature code or log in to the web portal. (You can extend DND by as much as you want, so it can be set to auto-timeout after well over three hours.)
The other nice feature of CallVantage DND is that the inbound call is intercepted by a recording (can make a custom one) in which the caller is given the option to 'ring through' (such as for an urgent matter). Otherwise, they are transferred to voicemail to leave a message. I realize that with that function, you're trusting the sleazy telemarketers to not wake your 6 month old up during nap, but it's nice to have, IMO. (Of course, since not everyone would like it, you could add an 'Enable Urgent Call Completion' option for each user to decide whether they want to allow callers to override their DND. If you're going to make the feature more complicated, you might as well go all the way! )

This is good for those of you who have "drunk dialing friends" at 3 am.....

Frankly the thing that I could really use the most would be adding the Caller Id Name to the Call History Logs. This is something I could use every day as it is a pain to go back through my phones caller Id to try and match up a name with the call logs as they are now.

I agree - this would be very useful.

Another strong plug for this. And the name used should be from the custom caller id (if one was configured).
