Conference Call Services

Following up on my previous post about conference calling services, I asked a bunch of my LinkedIn contacts about what they use for their own conference calls. There’s a clear mindshare leader…

Lars Hilse:

Try freeconferencecall.com—works fine for my opinion.

Kari Barker:

Are you familiar with Skype? It’s a great contact system. You make calls to hard line, cell phones or other computers. Computer to Computer (skype to skype) is a free call in the US. You can add people for conference calls on skype lines or to hard lines. they also feature a ‘chat’ or IM screen and history can be tracked on the screen. If you are calling from within the US you can call any US number all year for about $30.OOUS There is a fee for out of the country calls.

If you don’t need the long distance piece so much – and are just looking for Conference Calls — www.freeconferencecall.com as previously mentioned should do it.

Mark Withington:

FreeConferenceCall.com works great. You might also think about GotVmail.com for an outsourced PBX.

Steven Hughes:

I have also used freeconferencecall.com and TalkShoe, both make recordings available offline one on CD (FreeConferenceCall) or downloadable MP3 (TalkShow)—great for podcasts, plus they have an opt-in pay system that will host public talkshoe shows. Great for answering questions from multiple listneners and works live with a chat client. Both give you numbers and invites to manage callers.

Michael Melone:

The resounding answer seems to be FreeConferenceCall.com. They partner with GotoMeeting so that you can have a free conference call and show presentations remotely… this is particularly nice because it is also a fraction of the most popular alternative, WebEx.

Marc Aniballi:

I use www.jajah.com for all my calling. It’s Skype without the PC – SMOKING service, handles conferences and the rates are CHEAP. I use it for all my non-local calling from my cell phone.

Peter Read:

Try VSee. It’s free and allows up to 11 video callers.

Robbin Block:

Try PowWowNow. They offer a free service.

Brian Karas:

We’ve had good experiences with AtConference.com, going on a couple of years now.

Corey Bryant:

We have been using FreedomVoice for a few years now and they recently introduced a conference number. No reservations are needed and very eay to set it. We use it when needed and it gets billed to our toll-free number account.

Devin A. Brown:

Free Conference is an option.

Keith Barrows:

I’ve been using Free Conferencing powered by LiveOffice. I’ve also used FreeConference a couple of times.

Stephen MacGill:

We are big fans of Conference Calls Unlimited. Great customer service, small business focused and many features not found elsewhere. Zane Safrit, their CEO, is also a good resource on this topic.

Hi Chris,

There’s also a new version of Adobe’s Acrobat Connect product that combines their screen sharing (flash based webex killer) and conference calling unlimited for 15users for $40/mo. Pretty slick and affordable.

Very helpful post thanks.

I use highspeedconference.com.. they support traditional phones through a call to Iowa, plus you get a personal Skype number for your room

Sorry that’s highspeedconferencing.com (not the former link)

Hi All,

This is Jonah from Yugma (www.yugma.com).

We launched a new type of web conferencing and collaboration service back in December and it has been growing strong through real users trying out our product. We are completely focused on being extremely easy, inexpensive, and cross-platform compatible. In addition to having a great service for Windows users, we’ve been getting great reviews for our ease of use and support for Mac users. We just recently launched support for Linux (8 versions supported). I encourage you to try our service out. Our basic version is FREE forever. It allows you to invite up to 10 attendees, anytime. Add in a whiteboard and free teleconferencing… it’s hard to beat!

I hope you like what we’ve put together. If you have any comments or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you. Just email us at info@yugma.com. Thanks!

Best regards,
Jonah Cagley

I’d like to put a plug in for Asterisk, the open-source telecommunications toolkit. It does about everything you could want to do with phones from PBX to scheduled callout conference calls (Imagine the meeting coming to you!).
