Built on Facebook Platform, a platform that enables companies and developers to build applications for the Facebook website, Talkster’s Phone Party not only delivers free calls to and from more than 34 countries, but also allows Facebook users to preserve the privacy of their personal phone numbers when calling or receiving calls from their Facebook friends around the world.

With Talkster’s Phone Party on Facebook people can set up their calls from their Facebook profile page, select the friends they want to call from their Facebook account, and even add other phone numbers from outside Facebook to be included in a group party call. Advertising and special personalized offers for callers cover the cost of the calls.

Talkster Phone Party lets callers add and remove friends from their Phone Party groups on the fly. Callers can give their Phone Parties custom names, and are given a clear view of all of their scheduled Phone Parties so they can easily schedule and reschedule group calls and make any changes needed.

Talkster Phone Party delivers free calls to and from more than 30 countries, including popular international calling destinations such as the United States, Canada, the UK, Mexico, and China, with new countries being added each month. With Talkster Phone Party, Facebook friends can party with more friends from more places -- all for free.

“With Talkster’s Phone Party you can bring up to five of your Facebook friends together for a free chat,” says James Wanless, Talkster co-founder and COO. “Setting up the Talkster calls with other Facebook users all over the world is as simple as selecting them from your friends list, and with Talkster there are never any long distance or international calling charges. Because you may not be comfortable sharing your phone number with some of the people you have in your friends list, Talkster never exposes your personal phone number.”

Once the Talkster Phone Party application is added to a Facebook profile page, callers simply select friends from their Facebook friend list or enter the names and phone numbers of the person or persons they want to call. Talkster assigns free local Talkster numbers for each person or group of people a user wants to call. These new phone numbers are automatically listed in their profile on the Talkster Phone Party call list, can be saved in any address book or contact list and can be used every time a Talkster Phone Party user wants to talk for free, with no interruptions or talk time limits.
