 - Cheap Toll Free Conference Call Plan | How it Works
This is a Pay As You Go Toll Free conference call service.
No prepayment is required.
Use it for Canada conference calls or USA conference
calls or a combination of both on the same call.
We supply a USA Toll Free access number and a Canada Toll Free access number upon account activation.
Even though the cost per minute is very low, this is a powerful and full featured audio conference call service.
Your conference calls will be crystal clear.
Toll Free conference call rates from either country:
USA = 3.9¢ per minute per participant
Canada = 6.9¢ per minute per participant
This plan enables you to optionally control your conference calls via the web. Simply said, you have the ability
to 'control' the conference call on the web but the conference call itself is carried through normal phone lines,
not over the Internet.
The leader has the option to
dial-out to attendees that have forgotten to call into your important conference call. The leader can use the dial-out
feature using the online Live Viewer or by phone.
The leader can also mute and hang-up on callers, if necessary, and put them into sub-conferences using the online
Live Conference Viewer.
- Using the Live Conference Viewer is optional and a free feature. You don't need
to use it if you're not on the Web while on your conference call.
- Advanced web-enabled control of your conference
call

Moderator Dial Out Option
Need to add someone to your call while it’s in process?
Now you can easily bring another person into your conference call by dialing out to them through our conferencing
bridge.
You'll see a 'click to call' link when you use the Live Conference Control Panel via the
Web. In other words, you can 'dial out' while logged into your account online. You can also dial out using
your phone and entering a keypad command.
This is a screen capture of the online moderator dial out feature.
Dial-out Procedures
The audio conference bridge is connected to the public telephone network using dedicated digital lines so every
call must include a 1 + the area code + seven digit telephone number. You can dial-out to numbers within the U.S.
contiguous 48 states, only.
For example, to call someone in New York City the dialing syntax is: 1212555xxxx
- Customer Suitability
- This plan works well for customers that have determined
what their 'monthly' usage is (or will be) for audio conferencing. In other words, how many total conferencing
minutes per month are you currently using or expect to use ?
Reviewing past conference call invoices from your existing conferencing service will assist you in determining
your typical monthly usage.
To quickly estimate how many minutes you use and what the costs can be using the 3.9¢ Toll Free plan, click
here for the conference call calculator.
- USA and Canada attendees on the same conference call
- For example, if you have a conference call with attendees dialing in from both countries,
USA and Canada, your cost for the conference call will result in a blended rate lower than 6.9¢
and higher than 3.9¢ per minute.
If 100% of the conference call participants dial-in from 'one' country, the rate will be 3.9¢ per
minute for a USA conference call or 6.9¢ per minute for a Canada conference call.
- No Contract
- There is no contract, it's month to month. Usage
is billed to a credit card. Cancel at any time. There are no other fees or charges beyond your actual
per minute account usage.
- Hosting a conference call from Canada?
- If you host conference call from Canada or with participants in Canada, the Canada Toll Free dial in
rate is 6.9¢ USD per minute.
- Additional Facts
- Our system utilizes the worlds market leader in audio conferencing bridges, Spectel. Most of the moderator
conference controls available from the web interface can be duplicated using your telephone with keypad commands.
If you are holding a conference call on the road from your cell phone you will still be able to dial-out to bring
someone into your conference call, attendees can self-mute themselves, and the moderator can secure the conference
and also put it into lecture mode.
