Why Advanced Call Manager beats all call managers solutions

There are many, many, call managers on the market for s60 3rd edition. I have been wondering around trying every program that came into my hand, and finally found one that I simply can not delete from my phone: Webgate's Advanced Call Manager.

All call managers offer you the possibility to 1) manage your contacts into black lists and white lists, 2) manage your calls : reject or accept or send an automatic sms or answer with an asnwering machine message. Some also let you answer with a busy tone, or customize messages for answering machine (every called gets his own greeting message) or record phone calls or schedule different profiles.

But only Advanced Call Manager goes that extra mile. It has the 2 features I am not willing to give up on:

- Locator don't ask me how it works, it just works! It's something called Cell Id that functions, whether you do or do not have GPRS/GPS (I don't). The locator automatically detects which cell id I'm at and loads the profile and the configuration I have set for this specific location. It took me 2 minutes to configure it to Accept all calls when I'm at home and 1 minute to configure it to Reject all calls when I'm at my university. Now I don't have to worry about scheduling my profiles, Locator does it for me!

- Silent speaker on answering machine I tried a couple of other answering machine solutions but everyone functionned like any home answering machine. You could hear the greeting being played and the message that the caller was leaving really loud through the phone speakers. The two reasons I wanted an answering machine were to answer my night calls when I'm asleep and my day calls when I'm in a class. Hence these two reasons made me want a silent answering machine: I don't want to wake up at night, I don't want my classmates and teachers to hear my calls. Still, Advanced Call Manager isn't perfectly silent, you can hear the same thing, but through the phone's little ear speaker which makes it the closest to silent. When asleep, the voice can't wake me up. When in a classroom, if the class is really silent, i just have to put my finger on the ear speaker in order to avoid any noise.

Although not being a perfect call manager (inability to record calls, inability to answer a call when the answering machine has started), Advanced Call Manager has the little plus that makes it stand out of the crowd and be the call manager that I am just not willing to replace, yet.
