Insta Conference service allows a customer to instantly convene a voice conference with a pre-selected group of individuals at the press of a key. The service is available to all existing as well as potential customers of Tata Walky, Tata Indicom and Tata DOCOMO. The service is unique in its offering; making voice based conference calling an extremely easy process. By dialing a single number, from their registered phone, TTSL subscribers will be able to simultaneously reach a group of pre-defined users.

Speaking at the launch, Sukanto Aich, President Enterprise Business, Tata Teleservices said, “We are delighted to introduce another revolutionary value added service for our customers across the Tata World. Our collaboration with XOP Networks has enabled us to offer Insta conferencing service based on XOP's Firebar application. It is aimed at large, small and medium enterprises, wherever there is a need for instant, voice-based group communication. The service is hassle-free, easy to connect anytime, from anywhere, can connect any number of people at one point in time, and above all is cost-effective with no additional rentals.”

This Conferencing service is a cost-effective, efficient and convenient. A customer can simply dial in to the bridge to automatically start a conference. The application dials out to one or more numbers belonging to each individual and as people pick up their calls; they are automatically placed into an audio conference. The service also allows them the flexibility to dial in and join/re-join as necessary. The charges for calls using Insta conferencing are based on flat billing and will be independent of the voice plan / add-on packs, which the customer has subscribed. Charges will be levied based on the actual number of participants in the conference and the respective duration for which each of them participated.
