Phonio Lets Fans Connect Directly to Celebrities
With all of the social media websites and apps, blogs, and other forms of communication online, staying connected to friends or organizations seems like a constant thing we don’t even think about anymore. These mediums function much the same way for celebrities we follow. All of the online presence gives frequent updates to fans, or serves as an advertising platform for upcoming events. The problem for many people is that, despite being constantly connected, the types of interaction can often seem rather impersonal. It seems like with everything happening via text or online, it has become a rare occurrence to talk with someone directly through a phone call. Phonio is a service that looks to provide a more personal connection between organizations or celebrities and the people who follow them.
Phonio offers users a chance to hear directly from the people they are following via a phone call. This can come in a few different forms, the most common being a one-way call from celebrities, organization, or other people of interest to all of the users following them. The one speaking connects to the users who have subscribed to his or her unique Phonio phone number and broadcasts to all of them at once. This can be through a recorded message or close to real time as the user speaks. Alternatively, a Phonio user can call a random follower directly for a one-on-one conversation.
While one of the most common uses for a service like Phonio is certainly connecting celebrities to fans, it can be useful in a variety of other situations as well. Various organizations and businesses can use Phonio as a form of business IT support, allowing leaders or managers to connect with anyone working under them or to reach customers. The company’s long-term goal is to have the service used by a variety of people, from celebrities and government officials to businesses and charities.
The service does not need any special app or program to run, just a phone and a number. All users need to do is call the Phonio phone number of whoever they would like to follow, then listen to a recorded greeting and select to be added to a call list. Currently Phonio is free, but the company intends to use ads and potentially a subscription plan in the future to make money. Getting a good, old-fashioned phone call from a celebrity you are following can certainly make the connection feel more personal, just make sure you always have good phone tech support available so you don’t miss an update.
