Global Communications Services in Real Time

Whether you want to celebrate with your family or conduct business internationally, these three real-time communications tools make it possible to connect with others around the world quickly, easily and affordable.

How to Use Real-Time Communication Tools to Collaborate with Your Global Customers and your Overseas Loved Ones

Global Communications are mandatory if you have loved ones or customers around the world, you know that international phone calls can be tricky and expensive. Elderly parents and grandparents may be hesitant to call due to cost concerns or because it’s intimidating to figure out how to dial using all those country codes, exit codes, and calling card codes. It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, many of the tools you use for conducting business globally, such as our international conferencing, global virtual phone numbers, and video conferencing can be used with family scattered around the world. Below are a few ideas that make it easy for your loved ones to reach out no matter where in the world they are.

Global Communications Services

1. Get a Virtual Phone Number. This is a gift they will absolutely love. Here’s how it works: Start by ordering a virtual number that’s local to the country your loved one is located in. For example, if your parents live in the Philippines and you live in the United States, you’d order a virtual number that’s local for those in the Philippines. Your parents would dial a
Philippines local or toll-free number, just as if you were in Manilla or another local city. There’s no need for country codes, exit codes, or calling cards. Their calls would then be forwarded to your phone in the United States. As the virtual phone number account holder, you’ll purchase buckets of prepaid minutes at some of the most competitive per minute rates in the industry. Now, your parents, associates or Philippines based customers can call you at any time without the barriers that previously caused them stress.

2. Use Our International Conference Call Service. How about a group audio call that brings the entire extended family together? This is a great way to celebrate the holidays, ring in the new year, or have a virtual family reunion. With our pay-as-you-go international conferencing plans, there are no activation fees, no contracts, and no minimum requirements. You simply pay for the minutes used (again, with extremely competitive per-minute rates) during your conference calls and you can cancel at any time with no penalties. Each person, whether located in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, or anywhere else in the world, will dial into the conference call using an access number that’s local or toll free to their location. You can also use the “dial out” feature to dial your family members directly if you prefer. This is helpful if someone forgets to join or lives in a country with a poorly developed communications system.

3. Try Desktop Video Conferencing. The first two options are voice only, which is ideal for multi-generational communications. If your family members are tech savvy, consider our desktop video conferencing service. We offer a free 30-day trial and low monthly rates without a contract.
