Hike messenger enables free voice conference calling with up to 100 participants per call

Hike Messenger has announced the launch of free group calling on hike connecting up to 100 people in a call, reportedly an industry first. Leading apps in the VoIP market Whatsapp, Viber and Skype do not provide this feature, at least not yet. This new addition will allow users to make free group calls with the press of a single button once inside a group chat. This feature is available on Android and is expected to roll out on iOS, Windows later this year.

Currently on GSM platform if you intend to make a voice conference call it is a multi step tedious task where you put one call on hold while you dial another call and then merge the two, and repeat the same steps over and over for every additional participant. With Hike conference call, all you need to do is select the candidates you wish to conference with and tap on the call button and all of them will simultaneously get your call.

Commenting on the launch of the calling feature, Kavin Bharti Mittal, Founder and CEO, Hike messenger, said “Many of us at Hike were quite frustrated by how hard it is to make a Group Call today. Adding someone to an already existing call is extremely tedious and even starting a conference call is quite a painful process.”

He adds, “Today we’re going to change that with the introduction of Group Calls on Hike. Now with the tap of a single button, you can connect up to 100 people in one call. It’s that simple. One tap and hike does the rest. No more pins, no more dial in numbers and no more putting people on hold. Making a Group Call has never been this easy.”
