These days, we continuously strive to find new ways to communicate and stay in touch with loved ones whether they are situated nearby or strewn all across the globe. This has become much easier with social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. To further aid in their endeavor, Callvine has unveiled a Group Call & Text for the iPhone. According to the company, this offering is the premier iOS 4-optimized app that packs group calling and texting neatly into one single app.
Through Callvine, iPhone owners can easily text message over hundred people simultaneously via the device’s native SMS capabilities. Furthermore, they can also chat with up to 20 friends with just a simple touch. Group Texting can be carried out by opting for their desired contacts from the iPhone address book and just typing out the text message. When the ‘send’ option is hit, all the individuals in the group will receive the same SMS.
“We’ve designed Callvine to get everyone talking again,” stated Rudy Prince, CEO of Callvine. “It’s an extension of your address book, where you just pick your contacts, create your groups and push a button to call or text everyone at once. Staying in touch with your groups has never been easier.”
Each group can be allotted their own picture with flexibility pertaining to the number of various groups and participants. When executing group calling, users can follow the very steps used while group texting. After opting for the desired contacts, they simply have to press the ‘Call Now’ button. Through the latest Callvine iPhone app, they can find someone who has three different numbers and connecting them to the one that gets picked up first.
The Callvine app for iPhone can be downloaded absolutely free of cost from the iTunes Store. Group calling with up to 20 people bears no cost up to 10 minutes. There is also a special launch-time offer where users can experience one hour of free call time till September 7, 2010. After that period has lapsed, they can avail of pay-as-you-go bundles of minutes for $5.99 via an iTunes account.
