I've been using Callr for almost a month now, after it was mentioned by a friend who helped build the service. Since I have 2-4 conference calls per day, with different bridge lines and access codes (and some where I'm host, some where I'm guest), I thought the service wouldn't be able to cope with the complexity.

But after a couple support requests, I have things set up now to the point where Callr calls me about 30 seconds before any regular meeting I'm in is scheduled to begin, without fail.

It's a very nice service, and I'm amazed that it can parse out the information from all my calendar events.

The one thing that it can't really help with at this point is getting data about meeting invites that are spur-of-the-moment (e.g. someone invites me to a meeting that starts in 10 minutes). Since Callr pampers me by not requiring me to do any dialing, it's annoying to have to pull out my phone and dial in to those meetings manually.
