Looking for Conference Calling Solution

Conference calls and web meetings are increasing reality in today’s workplace.  As small business owners, we need technology to host conference calls.   I recently did some research and testing on available conference calling services.  So far, I am liking freeconferencecalling.com. 

What I liked

  • Super Simple to Set Up.  Realistically, you can have your first call within minutes of the set-up.
  • You use the same number and codes for all of your conferences.  
  • You can control features from phone or computer.
  • Ability to record calls, with options to create a podcast, download, or publish to a website. 
  • The service is completely FREE.   (I am still trying figure out this company’s revenue model.)

What I didn’t like

  • The attendee is greeted to the message “Welcome to Free Conference Calling.com”.  I haven’t decided if I am 100% comfortable with my customers hearing that message
  • This service does not provide an 800 call-in number.  Depending an individual’s long distance provider and plan, they may incur a long distance charge, just like any other long distance phonecall. 

As always, I welcome your suggestions for new and improved solutions.
