Abstract:
A method for mobile-device directed conference calling comprises receiving information from a subscriber of a mobile-communication service, communicating an access number and providing executable instructions to the mobile-communication device that expose a conference service to the subscriber, wherein when the subscriber selects an option from the mobile-communication device, the mobile-communication device initiates a call to a conference service that uses automatic number identification to authenticate the subscriber and connect the call with a teleconference bridge. A system comprises a processor, interfaces in communication with the public telephone network and a data network, respectively, and a memory. The system receives information from a subscriber of a mobile-communication service, communicates an access number to the subscriber and configures the mobile-communication device to expose a conference service to the subscriber. When the subscriber selects an option, the subscriber is authenticated and connected to a teleconference bridge.
