Telesocial Launches an In-Game Mobile Calling Mod

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Telesocial, the San Francisco-based cloud telephony service platform, has released a free modification, or "mod" plugin for the popular game, Minecraft. The Telesocial mod allows Minecraft players to call each other or initiate group calls on their mobile phones directly from within their game. Call recipients do not have to be in the game in order to receive calls from other players. Players can now join a Minecraft conversation wherever, whenever and never miss a beat.

Some of the cool Telesocial Minecraft mod features include group player calling, server conference spaces, a server calling directory, and call blocking. Additionally, because Telesocial understands that not everyone can talk throughout the day, they have launched a feature that lets players control when they are available to receive calls.

Telesocial is currently the only solution for Minecraft players to initiate mobile-to-mobile group calls in a safe and anonymous way. Using the Bukkit development environment, the Telesocial plugin is easy to download and registration is quick and secure. Even more, the mod does not require VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), any software to download or a headset hooked up to a computer, making this mod one of the simplest voice solutions in the industry.
