Abstract: A system and method for making a VoIP-based and other types of group calls includes a user interface adapted for use by a group call administrator via the Internet, a database manager connected to the user interface, and a database connected to the database manager. In one embodiment, the group call administrator identifier and one or more group call invitee identifiers is a telephone number. The server responds to a group call request by initiating a first group call connection and initiating at least one or more second group call connections to join a group call administrator and at least one group call invitee. A method includes using call information from a database to initiate conference call connections and an administrator call connection to facilitate a conference call in which the administrators call connections and the participants connections are joined to allow communications between the participants and the administrator.

Abstract: A system and method for making a VoIP-based and other types of group calls includes a user interface adapted for use by a group call administrator via the Internet, a database manager connected to the user interface, a database connected to the database manager. Establishing one or more caucuses within the group call at a central location includes establishing the group call between an administrator and invitees to the group call where the administrator and the invitee are assigned to caucuses as members of the caucus. In the method, the central location receives a caucus request from the administrator, the caucus request identifying a first caucus and a control feature. The control feature is executed on the members of the first caucus and not to invitees of the conference call that are not members of the first caucus.
