How can I be notified of incoming calls while on-line?

I am currently using dial-up and I'm wondering if there is already an application in my hard drive which would allow me to be notified when I was receiving an incoming call while I'm online? (I'm looking to get rid of my 2nd phone line which I only use for internet connection.)
Any suggestions? I also know there are services out there: CallWave, Pagoo, BuzMe but I hear they will bombard your waiting callers with advertisements. Isn't there also a device which you can plug in which lets you know if the incoming call is fax, phone or whatever? Any suggestions, advice, recommendations would be very helpful.
Thank you!

tinpan,
Thanks. I haven't heard of any of these programs. I'll also check out those websites. But, I'm not concerned about caller ID, per se. I don't care if I know who is calling me before I pick up the phone, I just want to be alerted that a phone call is coming in while I'm online. I thought I saw some sort of "box" that could let you know this but it was years ago and I don't know if it's available anymore nor can I remember the name. If I recall correctly, it was about $40. I was hoping it was cheaper by now.
And, I wasn't sure if Apple actually had this capability on any of their Macs but wanted to check. Sure would be an added plus, don't you think?
Thanks again!

How can I find out the incoming call and out going call from my orher chine

How will I know if my friend knows who I call

It is not you who have blocked them. The caller has opted to block their number from displaying on caller id displays. You can find out who it is by answering the phone. In the future, if the caller dials (I believe) *82 before your phone number (in the us anyway) the number should appear. Ask them to do this in the future. Some medical facilities and women's shelters have caller Id blocked for privacy reasons.

HT1338 There's no place on my homepage to put a web address. Also my forward & backward buttons are missing, how can I retreive these? I called my on-line provider & they told me I'd have to contact Apple.

On my hompage, there isn't any place to put a web address. Also the forward & back buttons are missing.

I'm running 10.8 and Safari 6.0.2 so this might not apply to you exactly but, in that setup: in View on the menu bar is a setting for Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar" then the toolbar is showing. If it says "Show Toolbar", it is not showing (so click on that and it will make the toolbar appear). If only certain pieces of the toolbar are missing, use View/Customize Toolbar.

My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

Depending on your carrier, you may be able to see recent calls by logging into your account on the carrier's web site, if they offer such a feature, though incoming calls being shown is not usual. There will, as diesel said, be no way to see messages already received, either SMS/MMS or iMessages, without having the phone.

You can't change that. It's a function of the OS and cannot be altered.

0. Navigate to the screen you want to capture

2. Press and release Sleep (top right button of phone)

Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
It's not possible with Windows Phone 8. What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.

When I facetime the ipad (email address) it calls my phone. The accounts are completely separate. How can I get this to only call the ipad and not my phone as well?

It calls both the ipad and iphone when calling the associated email address for the ipad. However, when I call the iphone it does not call the IPAD.
Thanks for your help

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

How can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit

how can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit so on your block page will not let me block it!!! So frustrated and I am not answering it with all the hackers out these days I don't want to give them access to my phone.

@lottsandy
I can understand your frustrations and concerns with receiving these unknown calls! I would love to assist you with preventing these types of calls.
Sounds as though you're receiving some type of telemarketing call. Although you're unable to add the shorter numbers to your call block list, you can definitely add your number to the National Do Not Call registry http://1.usa.gov/1whONxp. I hope this will help prevent those unwanted calls. Thanks!

After upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

after upgrading to OS5 my i phone is not showing names of incoming callers in my contact directory, i can only see number of incoming caller. Is there any settings to put this right? what can you do?

This started happening to me on my iPhone 4. Some text messages show only the numer they came from and those same numbers do not show the contact name in my calls list, even though the contacts are saved and synced via iCloud. I have tried to save different versions of the number in the same contact, but it won't work. If I call one of the recent numbers though, the conact comes up. I have tried reseting and restoring to no avail.
