Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for supporting multi-party meetings over a telecommunication network. In one implementation, meeting status information may be provided to a client for display on a user interface. The meeting may involve a voice connection between the parties that is established over a Signaling System 7 (SS7) network. Status change information may be received over the SS7 network, and the status change information may be forwarded to the client for updating the user interface display. Other implementations may involve receiving a meeting group identifier via a signaling network and retrieving routing numbers associated with the meeting group identifier. Calls can be initiated using each of the routing numbers, and the calls may be connected together to establish a conference call.
