I called O2 (my service provider) and they told me that this facility DOES NOT WORK in the UK. Can that be true?

Thanks for your reply.

Obviously the out of the box, public solution, does not suit your current usage.

We’ve found many stories such as yours initially. What is noticeable is that once you start using 2Buzz you use it more. The time saved and the increased productivity vastly outweighs the cost saving. Three clicks from the arrival of an important email and you can be talking. 2Buzz handles all notifications automatically including SMS (patented) as not everyone is always on email. Otherwise you have to communicate the number, date and time manually – plus any changes.

That said cost savings are important to some companies and 2Buzz is included free with some 2Talk packages from Mobix (www.mobix.net). The cost per minute depends on usage but starts at just 2.5 pence per minute and there are unlimited usage options from £19.99 per month.

We’ve had companies save 90% on communications costs alone. If you were spending £100k a year: that’s significant. Some IT directors appreciate having that back in their budgets!

But I accept that your usage is too light to gain significantly from the cost saving. I don’t know if your communication is mission critical for you or not with regard to productivity benefits.

The out of the box solutions are available from Viking Direct http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/browseCatalog.do?N=2+916163, bespoke requirements can be discussed by calling 0800 0591 500 or +44 207 047 4000.

Thats definitely alot cheaper although as we are with 02 we don’t pay the £10 per month for the service as you would with buzz. I could probably see our staff using the BB teleconferencing maybe once a quarter so for now I’ll stick with 02 until the cost is justified.

Cheers!

But the O2 service cost a massive 15 pence per minute.

2Buzz is just 6.4p per minute as standard.

There are much better and more cost-effective services in the market today! In the current economic climate, quality for a reasonable price is important!

Register at http://www.02.co.uk/conferencing

Here is instructions I did for employes after they completed registration process:

——

INSTRUCTIONS:

Everyone wishing to join the conference call needs to dial 07720322322.

They will then be asked to dial the mobile number of the person whose conference call they are joining.

They will then be asked to record their name.

They will then be put on hold, and not connected until you join the call yourself.

This can happen for up to 40 people (including yourself).

To start the conference yourself dial 322 from your mobile.

It will ask you to enter your secure entry code (********)
It will then ask you to record your name.

You will then be connected to everyone else on the conference call.

Hope this helps someone
