Foonz.com – Free group calls

from KillerStartups.com - published startups by Alexstl

Have you ever been frustrated by having to call a group of people to tell them all the same thing? Well, now there is a way you can have them all join in on the same call, free. With Foonz you can create call lists on the site, and form the list into a group. You can make as many groups as you want, and the phone charge is the same as your normal phone service. When you register with Foonz, you are given a number to call; when you call the number you can choose which group to call. All members of the group then receive a text message with a number to dial, which will then connect them all together. If you don't want to talk to them all, you can choose to just leave a message for all members of the group. In their own words: "We are a group of friends who wanted to get in touch with a bunch of people on the phone, at once, right away, to plan the night's adventure. But calling everyone separately or doing 15 IM chats was not the answer. So, we invented Foonz – the world's first easy way to call a group of people, from any phone, absolutely free! The best part is, now that we're started, we can't stop thinking of ways to use Foonz and new features to add." Why it might be a killer: Many group calls and conference calls can be expensive. This is pretty much the same thing as a basic conference call, expect it is free, and it dials all the members of the group for you. It could be a great tool for teams, businesses, and families who all want to talk to together at the same time. Some questions: Will people receiving the texts all respond? Will it always remain free?
