A system for a proxy service to provide telephone conferencing services
and personal telephony services. Users can participate in the conference
by connecting through different types of networks using a device having
one or more types of communication lines connected to the proxy service.
A primary user can request the proxy to call each one of the users and
establish the conference. The primary user may accomplish this through a
data line using data requests or though a voice line using voice
requests. Typically, the primary user provides a telephone number for
each user. The primary user can also provide with specific times of when
calls should be placed, identification information for each user, the
type of conference, and other conference parameters.
