Case from life:
- Hello, Seryoga! So where are we going tonight?
- Hello! Let's go to Sadovaya at six?
- Ok! I'll warn Max then.
- Hello, Max! Today on Sadovaya at six.
- Oh, you know, I can't at six. Let's get to seven?- Okay, then I'll call Seryoga right now…
Familiar situation, isn't it?
Every day in life every now and then there are situations when it is necessary to agree on something at once with several people at the same time. Previously, when mobile phones had not yet become so firmly established in our everyday life, contracts were carried out in person.
Mobile communications have made life much easier for many people, and now, in order to solve any issue, sometimes you don’t even need to get up from the couch…
But what happened to the world when mobile operators introduced a new way of presenting information -conference call! Now you don't need to call anyone back - after all, you can agree at once all together!
What is a conference call on a mobile phone? Conference calling is a feature supported by most cell phones. Depending on the model and manufacturer of the phone, the settings may differ, but the principle of operation is the same.
You call the subscriber in the usual way, without interrupting your conversation with him, select the "Second call" function (it may look different on your phone) and connect him to the general conversation. In this way, you can connect a large number of people. As a rule, possible restrictions are described in the instructions for the phone. Outgoing calls are paid by the caller.
Today, the function "Conference" is provided by most mobile operators. Some phones can also support video conferencing, so you can not only hear, but also see the participants in the conversation.
Separately, however, it is worth mentioning a free program called "Skype". Probably, there is not a single Skype user who has not at least once been glad that he lives in the 21st century. Skype conferencing has recently become completely affordable for a nominal monthly fee.
Bringing partners together for negotiations is not all the advantages of a conference call. Presentation of the project at a distance of several thousand kilometers, distance learning and even holding meetings - the systemconferencing has opened up opportunities for people never seen before.
Starting using Skype is pretty easy. You just need to register on the official website of the developer, download the program, enter your login, password, e-mail address in the proposed form, if you wish, fill in additional fields, upload a photo and … you can call absolutely free! If you often communicate with many people, conduct common business, participate in the discussion of common issues, Skype conference calls are just what you need!
First of all, you should still top up your personal Skype account right away, so as not to waste time topping up your e-wallet or calling your mobile operator on your mobile phone when you need to make an urgent call and the conference call service is not yet connected.
The 21st century is the century of lightning speed of information transfer, high technologies and limitless communication. Do not use all this while living in the 21st century - well, just blasphemy! Isn't it?
