Conference Call Services


By Eddie Tobey


Businesses today are growing at an exponential rate, and business operations have become global. There is a pressing need for you to stay in constant touch at all times. Conference calling is one such revolution in the communications industry. Through conferencing, participants can share live, two-way exchange of information. Conference calling services connects people without investing in expensive equipment.

There are essentially two types of conference calling services available: reservationless service and operator-assisted service. Reservationless service is idyllic for your everyday business needs. It provides conferencing 24-7 without making a reservation or depending upon the operator. It’s a toll-free, pay-per-use conferencing service. It’s easy and quick; just give the invitees the date, time, toll-free call-in number and entry codes. Many pre-selected services offered by the conference call company are used by an operator-assisted conference call. Operator-assisted conferencing can come in handy when your company needs extra help to manage large or important conference calls. It provides fully assisted conference support for large-scale conference calls of up to 2,500 participants.

These services help you better manage your conferencing budget. Many advanced features such as global dial-out, record and playback, security pass-codes, conference lock, group mute/unmute, roll call and more are available. Along with these regular services, conference call providers also provide various value added services like toll-free dial-in numbers, toll-free customer support, priority scheduling, recording, telephone playback of recorded conferences, download of recorded conferences, and conference transcription.

Conferencing services are affordable, as conference calling is generally priced per minute, per person. A 6-person, 45-minute call will typically run about $125. Customers with high calling volume can benefit from the flat rate monthly pricing offered by some services. Generally reasonably priced, conference calling services are available in pre-paid and by-the-minute rates. As the rates may vary greatly, check with different service providers to select one.

Such advances in communications and transportation have facilitated this move and have enabled companies to operate all over the world. Now, company representatives can travel equipped with business proposals and make connections from remote places.
