Powwownow Announce Unique Conference Call App

The conference call market has become awash with smartphone apps that only perform a handful of functions, across one brand of phone, and in the main at a cost.

So, where is that completely free cross-platform device we're all waiting for? The teleconferencing app that can work across Blackberrys, iPhones, Nokia smart phones and 'Androids' as then as allowing people to dial in from a land line with those extraordinary local, low-cost dial-in numbers users need?

The new app will be the first of its kind

The new app will be the first of its kind, with all of the reminders, calendar scheduling and contact import features of rival apps -- but with the ultimately in a class by itself aspect of allowing users to teleconference between mobiles, landline and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) providers -- wherever the callers are in the world.

There is as well the fact that with the Powwownow mobile app, the user is sent a reminder to their smart phone device three minutes previously their conference call is due to start, we GEO-locate the user and automatically choose the best dial-in number for their conference call, and because we know who the user is, and what conference call they're entering, there's no need for them to enter a pesky PIN as they once did. Meaning no matter who they want to speak to, and no matter what type of phone they have, they'll be able to connect simultaneously with up to 30+ people at the single touch of a button.

Powwownow was founded in the UK in 2004, offering clients low-cost conference calling facilities with the ethos of no booking, no billing, no fuss. The customer does not need to book a conference room and never receives a bill from Powwownow. They only pay the cost of their own call, which is added to their standard telecoms bill. The company now operates in 15 countries worldwide including the US and major European markets and recently acquired web conferencing and business collaboration providers, Yuuguu. Turnover for 2011 is predicted to reach 10m pounds Sterling.
