Abstract
An instant messaging or chat (IM/chat) communication method can include a series of steps. The steps can include inserting in an instant message (IM) a voice conference identifier comprising a voice conference call list identifying conference call nodes. The IM can be transmitted to a recipient at a recipient node. Responsive to the recipient selecting the voice conference identifier, a voice conference call between selected ones of the identified conference call nodes can be established.
