Low Cost Conference Calls: Toll-Free, Local Access, Flat Rate Conferencing

 

Low cost conference calling is available in a variety of formats ranging from unlimited calling on our flat rate service, to full service operator assisted calls.  It is important to choose the right conference calling plan to meet your particular needs.  Here is a quick summary of the different plans, all of which are popular for the niches they serve:
 
Flat Rate/Fixed Rate Conferencing offers you unlimited usage for one low fee per month.  You can use the conference bridge as much as you want, anytime you want, and only pay one fixed rate.  This is ideal for heavy users, who can get their conferencing costs down to next to nothing on a per minute basis.  The only downside is that conference participants dial a long distance number to access the bridge.  If you have free long distance (on your cell phone as an example) this would be a perfect solution.
 
Local Access Conferencing provides an extremely low rate per minute, based on a pay-as-you-go format.  If you are in one of our 84 cities across the United States and Canada that are covered by one of our acccess numbers, you can just call a local number and get into your conference without the added expense of dialing a toll free or long distance number.  This is the preferred conference solution for companies or organizations that have a lot of conference calls within a certain geographic area, or who have customers or colleagues in other large cities.
 
Toll Free Pay-As-You-Go Conferencing is just that -- you and your participants dial a toll free number to access your conference bridge and you are billed on the number of callers and minutes you use.  The beauty of this plan is that you are only billed for what you use, when you use it, so if there is an extended period of time you are not conferencing, don't worry.  Better yet, there are no set up fees, and no monthly minimums.  And it is reservationless which means that it is available to you 24/7 anytime you need to host a conference.
 
Operator Conference Calls are the choice for high level conferences that need professional assistance.  For your important high profile conference calls, our operators can call each of your participants and place them into the conference at the appointed time.  Your participants don't have to do anything except answer the phone.  Our trained operators can also introduce each person as they enter the conference, and also record the conference as well.
 
There are other conferencing plans too -- legal deposition conferencing and web video conferencing are two examples.  Give us a call today and let us help you pick the low cost conferencing plan that's right for you and your organization.  We can even create hybrid plans that are custom made for your particular needs.
