ROK Entertainment Group, the specialist mobile technology and
applications developer, today announced ROK Talk,
its new and wholly unique mobile conference-calling application,
with an invitation for 500 people worldwide to join a BETA trial.
Feature-packed Mobile Conference Calling made Easy and Affordable
ROK Talk enables simple and affordable group calling, all managed
directly from the user's mobile phone. In just a few seconds, subscribers
can instantly create or schedule conference calls with up
to 30 people simultaneously using the familiar 'contacts' list already
on their handset.
The ROK Talk solution manages invitations and introductions on the users
behalf, and even allows in-call control of the conference directly from
the handset - a first in the industry. Call costs are substantially lower
than traditional conferencing solutions – and far more immediately actionable –
making the product attractive for personal use.
"ROK Talk connects families and other social groups as easily as it connects
a businessman with his colleagues around the world. This is our first
step into giving businesses and the socially networked generation the
tools they need to communicate more effectively, and we believe that
there is massive potential here to not only revolutionise group calling,
but to make it as seamless and ultimately as ubiquitous as
person-to-person calling is now." said Lawrence Alexander, CEO of ROK.
ROK is currently seeking applications to join a 500-strong FREE trial of
ROK Talk from handset manufacturers, mobile operators, businesses and
individuals world-wide.
Applicants for the free trial must own a S60 3rd Edition device such
as the Nokia N73, E65, E61, E61i and can register their interest online
