The days of pricey 800 conference calls are over and seriously cheap rates are now a reality. In
fact, you can find rates as low as 2.5 cents per minute.
At less than a nickel a minute, toll free conference calls have a place in businesses of all sizes. Whether your
company is a small business or a Fortune 500 corporation, if you need to host a toll free conference call, you
now have affordable options.
As you likely know, 800 conference calls allow attendees to access the conference call without having to pay local
toll charges. As the conference call's host, your company pays for the toll free access. Since your company pays
per attendee, per minute, low per minute rates are essential. Otherwise, the cost of your toll free conference
calls can quickly add up.
Let's look at a 60-minute toll free conference call involving 20 attendees at different per minute rates. Let's
start with ten cents per minute. Now, let's do the math: 60 minutes times ten cents per minute equals $120. Next,
what if you could make that same toll free conference call at a seriously cheap rate of just 2.5 cents per minute?
Your total cost for all 20 attendees would be just $46.80.
In addition to being able to host inexpensive 800 conference calls, low rates lessen the financial burden of calls
that exceed their allotted time periods. For example, if that 60-minute call ended up lasting 70-minutes, those
extra ten minutes would cost $20 at the higher rate and $7.80 at the lower rate. Clearly, shopping for low rates
makes financial sense.
The greater the number of participants, the more important it is to find the cheapest toll free conference call
rates possible. What if your 60-minute teleconference attracted 100 attendees instead of 20? Your total cost at
ten cents per minute would be $600 whereas it would be just $150 at 2.5 cents per minute.
While inexpensive per minute rates lead to less expensive toll free conference calls, not all services offering
cheap 800 conference calls are created equally. Some services use VoIP technology while others use traditional
phone bridge and land line technologies. Some services cut corners or features in order to offer low rates while
others do not. Because of the differences, and because these differences could adversely affect your experience,
it's important to look beyond price.
If possible, participate in a live demonstration of the services you are considering and ask yourself the following
questions:
- Is the sound quality of the toll free conference
calls acceptable?
- Is the sound clear?
- Does the sound cut in and out?
- Is the sound distorted?
- Do you hear echoes?
- Does the service offer the conference call features
that you want such as call recordings or the ability to dial out?
- Do you have to commit to a long term agreement?
- Are there minimum monthly usage requirements?
- Are there any additional fees?
As you examine your options for 800 conference calls, you will find that some service providers offering low
rates aren't the right providers for you. You will also find that the toll free conference call business is highly
competitive and that it is indeed possible to find service providers offering exceptional call quality and loads
of desirable features at incredibly low prices. If you thought that toll free conference calls were beyond your
means, think again!
