Garret Smith on Smithonvoip wonders why he should use the Rebtel conference call application, Group Talk, instead of the Iotum conference application. One obvious reason is that the Rebtel application works in 40 countries, not only in the US. This means that you do not have to use a third part supplier for the call to the US. Just call the local number to join the call! Iotum has some nice features, e.g. raising your hand, which probably is useful in a formal meeting. A great feature in the Group Talk application from Rebtel is that the conference can be opened with just a phone call, without rescheduling. This means that you can use the conference call number for ad hoc conference calls as well as scheduled ones. When you are the first one to call in you get the option of letting the system call all participants to inform that the conference starts.
I have set up conference calls a number of times for zillion money. Now it's possible to set it up for free, i.e. Rebtel charges nothing! You set it up, participate and talk for free. The only cost is for the local call charged by your operator.
Take the opportunity to schedule a conference with your loved ones for Christmas. They will receive an SMS with the number to call and the time set for the call. They only pay for the local call. Currently the conference feature is available on Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/conferencecalls/) but you can invite anyone in a Rebtel country (http://www.rebtel.com/en/Rates/Rebtel-countries/). They don’t even have to be on Facebook or have a Rebtel account.
