According
to him, this service comes with three unique options including; Timed Assist,
Live Assist and Control Assist, designed to suit individual preferences. With
the Timed Assist, either the executive’s or the assistant’s phone rings; after
a configurable time, if the call has not yet been answered, the other phone
also rings. The Live Assist enables both phones to ring simultaneously until
one of them answers the call. For the Control Assist, the
assistant’s phone only rings if the executive rejects the call.

He
described the Mobile Assistant as a network service that works regardless
of mobile phone sophistication, and that the assistant’s phone could still ring
if the executive’s phone was switched off.

The part I like about this product is the 'time management' possibilities… phew, finally! … will check this one out.
