Toll Free Tips: Call Blasts (we call them chatcalls)

by Phone.com

Here is a real life example I came across last week. This one is a personal (as opposed to a business scenario but you will see what i mean).

One of our customers was expecting a baby. As so many of us have done he got a list of phone numbers so that he can call after the baby is born.

However, rather than making 15-20 calls he simply sent a chat call from his Phone.com account. How does that work: he recorded the message he wanted: “Hi all .. we have a baby girl… 8p weight, 19 inch, mom and baby are great … more later” (ok – you get the idea…).

Next he entered the phone numbers of all the relatives/friends and pressed “send”.

One call. Rings all on the list and broadcasts (or blasts) the good news.

Thats it. one more great feature from Phone.com!

Toll Free Tips: How to call anyone, anywhere and from any phone but appear to them as if you called from your “regular” phone number?

Say your phone number is 222-333-4444 and all your contacts know that is your phone number. But what if you are not next to your phone? Or, worse what if you are at the beach but need to call your important client who thinks you are in your office working on his/her project?

With a Phone.com account you get a phone number that is your phone number no matter where you are and no matter what phone you want to use to dial out of. So when you are in your office near your “real” every day phone you appear calling from your 222-333-4444 number but even if you are at that nice beach using your friends cell phone to make that important call to your client you can still appear to your client as if you are calling from 222-333-4444.
