International Conference Call calculation
Your conference call attendees dial into your conference call from
different 60 countries, at no cost to them because they are using a Toll Free number from their country.
Due to the many possible combinations of countries, rates and conference call durations, the purpose of the below
example is to provide a 'basis' for calculating the per minute costs for your conference call.
Simply exchange the per minute rates shown with the rates corresponding to the countries from where your conferees
will be dialing in from.
Calculate the Conference
Call
Below is an example of international conference call with attendees
located in:
Argentina
Italy
Cyprus
USA
To estimate your costs for
a conference call involving attendees located in multiple countries, you need to determine the following:
#1. The estimated 'length' in minutes of the planned conference call
#2. The 'total' quantity of attendees on the conference call including the leader
#3. A list of the countries that will be connecting to the call
After you determine the above items, find the 'per minute rate' for each of the countries where the participants
are dialing in from. Use this rates list.
Add and muliply for the result.
 How to calculate
international
conference call cost.
-
Example of a 6 participant conference call:
Estimated Length of conference
call: 20 minutes
2 attendees dialing in from Australia
1 attendee dialing in from Italy
1 attendee dialing in from Cyprus
2 attendees dialing in from USA
Countries and Toll Free Rates:
Australia Toll Free rate = $0.11 per minute
Italy Toll Free rate = $0.11 per minute
Cyprus Toll Free rate = $0.17 per minute
USA Toll Free rate = $0.069 per minute (6.9¢)
The calculation would be
as follows:
2 - Australia x .11 = .22 x 20 minutes = $4.40 Toll Free rate
1 - Italy .11 x 20 minutes = $2.20 Toll Free rate
1 - Cyprus .17 x 20 minutes = $3.40 Toll Free rate
2 - USA x .069 = .0138 x 20 minutes = $2.76 Toll Free rate
Total Toll Free Access cost
= $12.76 (US Dollars)
Conference Call Component:
Add per minute conference component of .069 (6.9¢) for all participants dialing in from countries other than USA =
20 minutes Australia = .069 (6.9¢) = $1.38 x 2 = $2.76
20 minutes Italy = .069 (6.9¢) = $1.38
20 minutes Cyprus = .069 (6.9¢) = $1.38
Total Conference Component
= $5.52
Grand Total = $12.76 + $5.52 = $18.28
(US Dollars)
+ applicable US Federal and state taxes.

Optional Dial-Out rates
View worldwide dial-out rates here
Many of our customers utilize a combination of the two connection options. - Attendees dial-in using supplied international
toll free access numbers from their countries and the leader can optionally dial-out to some participants using
the dial-out feature.
To calculate using the dial-out rates, simply substitute the dial-out rate for that attendee country instead of the international toll free access number rate.
Both, toll free access and
dial-out can be utilized on the same international conference call.
The dial-out feature is also useful should you have
a participants in a country that does not offer a toll free access number. The leader can fetch those participants
using the optional dial-out feature.
