Foonz Offers Free Instant Conference Calls for Fantasy League Drafts and Trading

Business Wire, March 20, 2007

Get All Team Owners on the Line Anytime for Hassle-free Team Negotiations

BOSTON -- Fantasy sports fanatics now have a better, faster way to conduct league drafts, in-season trades, or just to communicate with other players in their fantasy league with a free Foonz group call. The unique and simple to use Foonz service allows anyone to start a free call with a group of any size, at any time, from any phone.

Get Everyone in Your League on a Call in an Instant

Foonz makes conducting fantasy sports drafts a snap, and with the upcoming fantasy baseball season the timing couldn't be better. To get started, fantasy players just visit www.foonz.com/fantasy to set up a free account, and enter the names and phone numbers of other "owners" they want to stay in touch with throughout the season. Then to start a group call, they dial the Foonz number they receive during signup and invite a group of owners to a call.

Foonz sends instant text messages to everyone in the group inviting them to join the call. Invited participants simply dial the number they receive in the text message and are automatically connected to the group call. If some of the group cannot join the call, the person who initiated the call can leave a message and Foonz will notify the missing participants that a message is waiting for them. Foonz also gives the option of leaving a message for a whole group without starting a call. There is no charge for anyone other than the normal minutes of their call.

Start a Trade Call, Anytime

Trade calls throughout the season become as easy as picking up the phone and inviting the other players in the league. The instant notification feature of Foonz helps overcome one of the biggest problems of fantasy leagues - getting everyone together, at once.

"Foonz is a great tool for the Fantasy owner. It eliminates the need to call people one by one, or wonder if your email was read," said Randy Corke, founder, Foonz. "Anyone can pick up the phone and get an entire group of people on the phone, instantly. There is no additional cost to use Foonz, and all information is kept completely private. Your only expenses will be the normal minutes of the call and, of course, what it costs to pick up that new Japanese pitcher everyone is after."
