Foonz (pronounced “phones”) - conference calling for anyone anywhere

My friends and I do a lot of writing. A lot. We work on one another's writing skills (hey, you should have seen how I wrote 5 years ago :-p), we discuss story ideas, we talk about things going on in our lives and at work and... a lot of talking. At least half of the talking on the phones we do as three-way calls.

Because of that, Foonz caught my eye. Foonz is a new free service that lets anyone start a group call from any phone. This is similar to the group calling that businesses have used for decades, only now anyone can use the feature to start a group call, which means that instead of just three of us talking, my entire writing group can talk on the phone.

Foonz is easy to use, all you need to do is: Sign up for free at the Foonz web site and create a Foonz contact list with groups of contacts. To start a group call you call the number that Foonz gave you when you sign up. Foonz will tell you how to start a group call and when you do, Foonz sends a message to everyone in the group via txt messages to their cell phone. They are told that they are invited to join your group call and given the number to call. Foonz automatically joins you together when they dial in.

There are, of course, many reasons to use Foonz aside from writing groups conferencing. You can get the whole family on one call for Christmas well wishes to grandma and grandpa. A group of students can get their study group together on a call. RPGer's can talk to others while playing an online game. Or just for a group of friends to stay in touch with their friends back home or scattered around at other colleges.

Foonz can be used from any phone, it's free to use with only your normal phone minute charges applying. There are no additional fees, no advertising and Foonz does not sell your information to others. You can start a group call anytime without any need to pre-plan.
