Conduct International Audio Conference Calls with Toll Free access
How to Set Up International Audio Conference Calls with
Toll Free access
It doesn't take a lot of thought to know that a conference call meeting is a
lot less expensive than having all involved meet at a hotel or an office in another city or country. It's a major
expense to have geographically diverse people meet in person to collaborate, although there are certain situations
that make a conference call impossible versus an in-person meeting.
If your meeting has attendees that are in another country, it's very easy to host an international conference call
with guests located in just about any country these days, and FROM many of these countries, the participant can
dial-in Toll-Free. Just a little pre conference homework is all it takes.
Some countries do not permit the issuance of Toll-Free access numbers, so we cannot offer them for that country,
but that's not a problem.
There's a feature called international dial-out that enables the host to actually make a call from the conference
room to the participant in 'any' country and add the attendee to the call.
Used to add a participant in a remote country or to add
another attendee while a call is in progress.
Using the dial-out feature enables the chairperson to add a participant in any country without incurring long distance
fees for the conferee. The dial-out call by routed through the customers conferencing account and by passes any
local fees.
Look for a conferencing company with an exhaustive list of Toll-Free access number that closely match your requirements.
And a provider that also has the dial-out feature that could be used to bring in a few attendees in faraway places
that have no Toll-Free access.
After you choose a provider and activate your new account, send out emails to your guests with their Toll-Free
access number. If their country is not on the Toll-Free country list, send them a note that you will be calling
them on a certain date and time. Of course you'll need the conferees mobile or landline phone number for the dial-out
call.
