Does my computer have to be "awake" for me to make calls?

yes. Your PC is doing all the processing for google voice. The GVMate is just an interface to a plain old telephone set. With the GVMate software, a user must also be logged in to the desktop.

Even the App the Nexus ships with will work. You have to leave the computer on of course. I Prefer Wakevoice. It handles multiple mode alarms (different alarms by day of the week for example. And as the name implies, it talks once you turn off the alarm. It can deliver a message, read my daily agenda, News, etc.

Yes, it is called silent mode, it allows y'all to select a period of time during which the handset and/or base unit will not ring for outside calls. Y'all select the silent mode on, then the hour and minute for off and then for on. I have not used the feature, though the instructions seem to be straight forward in the manual pages 44 and 45..hth

I have both. I set the answering to three rings and the calls are picked up by my machine first

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

do the call buttons activate different sounds or are both going to cause the same sound

Yes. But just that. If I am doing some other tasks or playing with my kid and I get a call then it won't help. The call breaks when I attend the call while on move. This is not a good buy at all. I have almost dumped it in trash.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

My unit receives calls whether its a sleep or not. The sound of the unit detecting motion I can live with out though

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will still register all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls). If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" for english and in service.

I have not tried for 24 Hrs back up. But if I keep it aside in the night with me & then in morning I can have 2-3 calls taken on that without charging.

My headpiece does not beep when there is an incoming call. I get a little electrical click but not a beep.

In order for it to call out if an alarm is tripped you have to have it connected to a landline. Once it connected though, you can program it to call a cellphone. (I've had a few false alarms and got calls on my cell). Hope this helps!

I don't really know. I don't wear the headset unless I make or receive a call.

Yes. The one-button operation will answer the phone and hang up, And it will start and pause music from the sleep mode.

No, but if you answer it while closed (which you are supposed to be able to do) it drops the call...everytime.
