My question is if you send multiple pictures do they always print out one on each page? It seems that one page should at least fit two photos since they are scaled down. Otherwise it adds up to a lot of wasted paper space. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

I followed your GREAT email tip re setting up a google gmail calendar for the daily events at my 83 year old mother's Assisted Living residence, so she would not miss any activities she enjoys, but can't remember without written reminders. I set up the original google calendar up under the same gmail address as is shown under the Presto Account Manager (Me) but this gmail account is set up under my mother's name, not mine. I had a Daily Agenda email early in the morning, and individual event email notifications two hours prior to the event successfully coming into this gmail account, as scheduled, for several days. I then went into this original gmail account (under which the calendar was created) and through the "Manage Calendar" area ADDED my mother's emailaddress@presto.com to SHARE the original calendar as " See all event notifications ." I then went to Presto.com and added the original calendar gmail address to the Friends List, under my mother's name this time. I also added the following "Friend" as instructed: calendar-notification@google.com. So now both the gmail address for the original google calendar and the calendar-notification show...

I've sent 2 emails using tht address and still have no received a reply. I've checked my junkmail folder and made sure that the proper email address was associated with the presto account and still nothing. I know this is a new feature and quite possibly you're having issues with it at the moment but just checking up on it. I've actually yet to confirm she's actually received my first text test email as well.

They do live in a retirement community where they have to dial "9" before being able to dial out. In another thread I saw that someone else had raised this issue some time ago and the Presto folks were going to look into it to see if a solution could be found. So my question is whether the solution has been found and, if so, what steps should I take to make sure that the installation and use of the Presto service goes smoothly?? Thank you for your help!

They don't have a computer and they have kids and grandkids who would like to stay in touch via email. I read all about the product on Amazon and purchased it. I have been living a daily nightmare since my parents opened the box! I live too far from my parents to set this up for them, but my father is great with electronics, so I am patting myself on the back, thinking that I have found the perfect gift. Never have I been so wrong. I have been cruising the forums and looking for answers. I have called customer service (lackluster at best) and I have been beating myself against a wall for days. I found one post that explained my problem nicely, and a response from someone from Presto. In his response to the person who posted, he claimed that the FAQ clearly states that an analog phone line is required. Hmmm. I have read that FAQ. I didn't see anything about that. What it all comes down to is this: My parents (like MILLIONS of others) have digital phone service. When I called and asked for help I was...

Comments and questions: 1. It would be great if email senders or account managers could get a confirmation or report about successfully delivered messages. That would help senders/managers know the device is working, as this does appear to be an issue based on this thread. http://www.prestoplace.com/forum/thread/10184/Worked-Once--But-Not-Twice/ 2. When changes are made by the account manager in the times of day the printing mailbox checks for new messages, how long does it take to implement this change? If the mailbox is scheduled to check for messages at 10pm, but at 9:30pm I go in and change that setting to check at 11pm instead, what happens? 3. What happens if the printing mailbox is scheduled to check for messages at, say, 10pm but the line is in use at that time? 4. I know that the printing mailbox end user can force an automatic check for new messages, but can an account manager do this too?

We are about a week from having our 82 year old Mother aboard. She is the sole reason we are here. If you have any information to pass along we would be most appreciative. She has NO computer skills. It is highly debatable how many family members will participate. Our incentive for hooking Mom up to the e-mail system was the fact that NEW Great Grandchildren are beginning to pop up across the country and Mom has yet to see a single photograph! If they won’t snail mail it, perhaps someone along the family tree can forward to Mom a picture circulating on via e-mail? We thought we’d give it a try.

Due to his age and state of health, I am the administrator for his account and pretty much take care of all his affairs remotely. Unfortunately, due to the distance I have to travel, my visits to him are few and far between.
