    Question Taking callers on your Internet Broadcast

    I have been searching high and low for a good call in system for my internet broadcast. We currently take skype callers but I was wondering if there is anything that screens calls for you?

    Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

    When I do live shows I use Blog Talk Radio's switchboard which is actually quite good. Wish they could sell that separate.

    I feel the same way. I wish they offered better packages. They seem to do a good job when it comes to callers but the pricing is a little wacky for me.

    We're not using them, but check out CallInStudio. For a self-funded Internet broadcast of any length, it could get costly, but for a successfully monetized show, the cost is reasonable.

    The best and most expensive solution is to add some telephone lines and get a multi-line Telos digital hybrid system.

    It's also possible to use an unlisted call on TalkShoe (free unless you get a direct dial number) or BlogTalkRadio (monthly fee, low quality) as a telephone bridge - NOT as a show hosting medium.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.

    Thanks for the link Mike. I knew I had seen something like this before just couldn't come up with the name.

    My next question is How do you screen calls with Callinstudio?

    I use the $40 a month plan and that gives me everything I need with regards to running a 3hr call in show.

    Rich can you screen the callers with Blogtalkradio? How do you control that aspect of it?

    Yea one of our team members screens calls and adds notes to my viewing screen so I know what they are calling about. Runs very clean. When I get home tonight I'll do a screen cast and post it here for you to see how it works .

    That would be amazing Rich. I think this is a topic that many of our members would be interested in hearing about.

    I went to BTR headquarters to quality test their current switchboard so I will gladly share a walk through with you guys. If it wasn't for their shitty audio quality I would endorse them strongly.
