The new version of Rondee (officially launching late summer) will represent a total re-thinking of how we enable our users to organize, set-up and arrange conference calls.
A number of new features will be available now to BOTH On Demand users as well as Scheduled Rondee users in the weeks ahead….
- The option to record your conference calls and access the audio.
- The power to customize your greeting tones in order to control whether participants hear a chime, hear their names being announced (or simply silence) when they enter and leave the conference call.
- A directory of your calls showing you who dialed in and for how long.
- A listen-only setting which allows you to provide some or all participants with a listen-only PIN.
Equally importantly, the new version of Rondee makes it much easier to have both your On Demand as well as Scheduled conferences under “one roof” by providing a single interface which allows you to access both services.
If you already had a Rondee account with a password, there is no need to create a new account. Your existing login e-mail address and password will work just fine. We encourage you to take a tour of the new site
If you were previously using Rondee but had no password, you can continue using Rondee just like you were before. But if you want access to all the new features, you’ll need to take a moment and sign up for a fully featured account by clicking on the link in the e-mail we will send to you as an existing user
Just used your service to do a teleconference with my church’s communications committee. A lot of people are wary of teleconference simply because of the costs. Since the number was local to us, and the service is free, it seemed like much less a risk to try, so we did. I gave everyone fair warning that if the call ended up long distance, their phone company would charge them, but I believe everyone used their cell phone’s free long distance or the call was local anyways. Everyone had a really positive experience. So far people have praised the time savings, gas savings, and convenience of having a teleconference rather than meeting in person. People with kids who had to be home to put their kids to bed were able to attend. I liked being able to relax in my own home after work and not having to rush off to some other location to attend a meeting.
We’re definitely going to use this wonderful, free service again in the future. Keep up the good work!
