Help identifying an app please

I had heard of an app that would allow you to answer a phone call, but the other end of the line would still keep ringing so you could hear them talking, and then you could "actually" answer the phone and begin a phone conversation with them.

Hope that makes sense.

Anyways, is there really such an app out there? If so, what is it called? I want it! Thanks

I think that Google Voice lets you screen calls, but I have never used it and I'm not sure of how it behaves.

Yep that would indeed be google voice, which is invite only.

Google voice only enables you to screen voice mails being left i thought? I have google voice, but only use it when I dont want people to have my actual number.

 

[Dragoro]

Yeah but you can break in while they are leavin the voicemail and talk to em.

Google Voice basically forces the caller to voicemail if you choose to listen in when they call, and then you can "answer" the call at anytime after listening in. Just like you can do with answering machines on land lines.
