How customers access this flat rate 'unlimited' conference call plan without paying long distance charges: Many local phone companies across the U.S. now offer 'nationwide' calling for a relatively small flat monthly fee. With a nationwide calling plan, you can call any of our bridge numbers and not pay any long distance charges or per minute rates. Using a cell phone with nationwide calling, although 'airtime' minutes would be ducted from the cell phone account, no long distance charges would apply if the account has the 'nationwide' long distance feature. Many Canadian customers report the widespread availability of 'unlimited' Canadian calling plans to call the lower 48. Using Skype or another unlimited VoIP provider to dial-in. Receiving reimbursement by an employer for long distance expense. Unlimited Long Distance Plan Users If a participant has an 'unlimited long distance' plan on their home or office phone line and dials the assigned access number, they will have no long distance charges. It would be equivalent to dialing in with a toll free number. Accessing the Flat Rate Unlimited Plan from Canada Because of widespread availability in Canada, many of our Canadian customers are using unlimited calling plans. This permits our Canadian users to access our unlimited flat rate conference call plan without incurring any long distance fees from Canada. If your Participants are dialing-in using a Cell Phone If your conferees are using a cell phone to access your conference calls, chances are good that they will have the ability to call long distance without incurring any extra charges from their cell phone provider. In this case, it would not make any difference whether they used a toll free access number or a standard telephone number. Air-time minutes would be deducted unless the conference call occured during the cell phone users unlimited nights and weekend period. Using Skype We have some customers that dial-in to our conferencing bridge using Skype. This also works well in cases where the participant may be in another country. Create your own local access number Call Forward your VoIP Line If you have an 'unlimited' VoIP long distance plan on your office or home phone line, you probably have a 'call forwarding' feature. You may be able to 'call forward' your own VoIP phone number to the conference call access number. We know this is possible with Packet8. Vonage will no longer permit multiple call forwards beyond two or three callers but Packet8 with their 'business plan' does. The feature that makes this work is called 'auto attendant'. Immediately prior to the conference call start time, simply use the 'auto attendant' feature and forward your line to the assigned conferencing bridge access number. This will create an instant local access number for your local conferees to dial-in. You will incur the additional monthly cost for the VoIP service plan if you use this strategy. It may work for you economically depending on how much conferencing you do.
