03TALK: At last, mobile-friendly conference calls!
How many times have you been sent a conference dial-in number and been frustrated that the service is operated on an 08 number so you know you’re going to be stung by your mobile operator? It happens to me frequently and, as Murphy’s Law would have it, usually when I have no access to a landline.
So this week, I’m delighted that Zimo is launching 03TALK – the UK’s first mobile-friendly conferencing service. We’re live so you can visit the site to set up an instant conference or call 0330 330 0330 and choose Option 2 if you prefer to do so over the phone.
Hooray!
Just like calls to UK area code numbers, those beginning with 01 and 02 are charged at standard geographic rates and most importantly must be included in fixed and mobile network operators’ bundles. So, if you have inclusive minutes with your contract, conference calls made to 03TALK will be included in those minutes and not charged at an exorbitant rate by the networks!
Zimo’s developers are now busy working on lots of exciting features, such as recurring conferences, notification via SMS, email, Twitter and IM, conference recording and permanent room numbers.
To use the 03TALK service, just visit 03TALK.com or call 0330 330 0330.
