Start a Conference Call Instantly From Your Mobile
December 27th, 2007 MobileFreak
There’s a small, but growing number of services that let you initiate a group conference call at a moment’s notice from your mobile phone.
One I ran across recently was from Lypp. For $9.95 per month, users are able to use their BlackBerry, PDA, smartphone, regular mobile phone, or a landline to connect to multiple people in North America without the need to schedule it or ask people to call in. The service comes with 250 minutes, and each additional minute costs $0.08.
Lypp uses your phone’s instant messaging capabilities, though the calls themselves are routed through the regular voice service (not data), so voice quality is not an issue. Users must have IM capability installed on their phone, and Lypp’s website provides directions to install them if it’s not already available.
I do struggle a bit to find effective uses of these services on a consistent basis that would justify the cost. I’d imagine there are certain commercial environments where this would make a lot of sense, but not for the average consumer.
Am I missing the boat here? Have you used these services?
