I have been searching high and low for a good call in system for my internet broadcast. We currently take skype callers but I was wondering if there is anything that screens calls for you?
Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

When I do live shows I use Blog Talk Radio's switchboard which is actually quite good. Wish they could sell that separate.
I feel the same way. I wish they offered better packages. They seem to do a good job when it comes to callers but the pricing is a little wacky for me.
We're not using them, but check out CallInStudio. For a self-funded Internet broadcast of any length, it could get costly, but for a successfully monetized show, the cost is reasonable.
The best and most expensive solution is to add some telephone lines and get a multi-line Telos digital hybrid system.
It's also possible to use an unlisted call on TalkShoe (free unless you get a direct dial number) or BlogTalkRadio (monthly fee, low quality) as a telephone bridge - NOT as a show hosting medium.
Thanks for the link Mike. I knew I had seen something like this before just couldn't come up with the name.
My next question is How do you screen calls with Callinstudio?
I use the $40 a month plan and that gives me everything I need with regards to running a 3hr call in show.Quote:

Yea one of our team members screens calls and adds notes to my viewing screen so I know what they are calling about. Runs very clean. When I get home tonight I'll do a screen cast and post it here for you to see how it works .
That would be amazing Rich. I think this is a topic that many of our members would be interested in hearing about.
I went to BTR headquarters to quality test their current switchboard so I will gladly share a walk through with you guys. If it wasn't for their shitty audio quality I would endorse them strongly.
