Foonz: Call A Group From Your Mobile

Now where have I heard this idea before? Oh yeah, Jangl, several months ago.

Foonz gives you the ability to call a group of your friends from your mobile, but with a twist. It's a bit like the earlier iterations of Jangl where you have to send a text message to get a phone number to call. Where Jangl gave you a number to call one person, Foonz gives you a number to call a group of people.

But the number doesn't really call your group. It sends the group a text message telling them to call a specific number. Instant conference call, or you can schedule it. For people without a mobile phone, you'll have to communicate the "Foonz" number out of band to them.

The other thing Foonz allows you to do is record a message for your friends. It texts your friends the number to call. They can dial in to listen to it.

It's a different idea for sure, but I'm skeptical about the long-term viability of this service. Leave your feelings in the comments.
