Free Conference Calling!

Last week a vendor scheduled a conference call with me using FreeConference.com. At first I thought it was a little shady, but in this world of home offices and Skype/VOIP, I guess it makes sense.

If you sign up for Reservationless Standard Conferences, you'll receive a dedicated dial-in number and access code that you can use at any time. No need to schedule the conference with the service.

From their FAQ's: Do you place a surcharge on the call? Will anything extra appear on my phone bill?

No. There are absolutely no surcharges. For Reservationless Standard and Web-Scheduled Standard conferences nothing extra will appear on your bill other than the call itself, billed at your normal long distance rate.

The catch: the Reservationless Standard conferencing services do not provide Toll-Free (800) Dial-in Numbers.

Just a thought! I'm off to HW to lead a demo for the Software Review Committee!
