I&#x27;ve been using Callr for almost a month now, after it was mentioned by a friend who helped build the service. Since I have 2-4 conference calls per day, with different bridge lines and access codes (and some where I&#x27;m host, some where I&#x27;m guest), I thought the service wouldn&#x27;t be able to cope with the complexity.<p>But after a couple support requests, I have things set up now to the point where Callr calls me about 30 seconds before any regular meeting I&#x27;m in is scheduled to begin, without fail.<p>It&#x27;s a very nice service, and I&#x27;m amazed that it can parse out the information from all my calendar events.<p>The one thing that it can&#x27;t really help with at this point is getting data about meeting invites that are spur-of-the-moment (e.g. someone invites me to a meeting that starts in 10 minutes). Since Callr pampers me by not requiring me to do any dialing, it&#x27;s annoying to have to pull out my phone and dial in to those meetings manually.

I don&#x27;t join any conference calls and hate being interrupted by the phone, but I can see how this would be really useful for people who need it. Great idea.<p>The site is neatly but not over-designed and clearly explained the proposition which is something a lot of startups struggle to do well. I didn&#x27;t have to watch a video or read buckets of text.<p>My one suggestion would be to revise this paragraph while you&#x27;re US only:<p>&quot;No matter what conference call service you use, Callr can connect you. There is no need to get a new number or fancy URL.*&quot;<p>The asterisked footnote demotes the &quot;no matter what&quot; making it seem like a clear exaggeration. Perhaps have &quot;We support popular US conference call services without the need to get a new number or fancy URL. (If you&#x27;re outside the US, get in touch and we&#x27;ll let you know when we expand!)&quot;

I think there&#x27;s something I&#x27;m missing about it. Usually, the most annoying part about &#x27;important calls&#x27; is that they won&#x27;t exactly be right on time &amp; you&#x27;ll have to wait starring at your phone for a couple of minutes. I don&#x27;t see how this solve that problem.

instead of using above service use spoof call for anonymous call<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;haktuts.com&#x2F;how-to-change-your-caller-id-1&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;haktuts.com&#x2F;how-to-change-your-caller-id-1&#x2F;</a>
