Doing business with customers, vendors, and partners in Canada

often involves US to Canada (and vice versa) conference calls.

Though you may be in New York and your attendees just across the border in

Toronto, your Canadian attendees may incur international toll charges based on

country differences.

Fortunately, our service solves this potential problem. Use the tips below to

make USA to Canada conference calls with confidence.

Use our pay-as-you-go US / Canada conference calling service.

It's affordable to hold group audio calls with participants in both countries. With this

type of conference call, no one has to feel like they're making international phone

calls. You can have attendees from Key West, Florida to the Yukon and everywhere

in between, with each dialing a local or toll free number.

Our rates for Canada toll free and US access are just a few pennies per minute. By

providing your Canadian participants with a toll free number, you ensure that

international toll charges never appear on their phone bills.

Take stock of your USA to Canada conference calls in real time with our live

conference viewer.

This is a free web app that you can use to view your conference calls while they take

place. It’s similar to the mobile app in that it provides a visual overview of all attendees

currently on the call and has a variety of controls that you can use to manage your

call in progress. View conference viewer here.

Counteract time zone differences by recording your USA to Canada

conference calls.

With USA to Canada conference calls, time zone differences can limit participation.

For example, there’s a 7-hour time difference between Honolulu, Hawaii and Halifax,

Nova Scotia. While USA to Canada conference calls involving these cities is still

doable during normal business hours, such a large time difference may be

problematic. Depending on the nature of your conference call and the absentee

participants involved, recording the conference call may be an alternative.

Our advanced, high quality, and feature-filled USA to Canada conference calling

service is available without a contract on a pay-as-you-go basis. There are no

monthly fees or recurring costs. Simply pay for the minutes you and your attendees

use. Sign up for an account today.

Holding a Lecture-style Conference

Call from the United States to Canada

Do it yourself service

If you’re in the United States but need to address a group of individuals in Canada,

you may quickly discover that your office PBX system’s conferencing features aren’t

quite up to the task. Using your favorite conference calling service may also fall short

thanks to international calling costs and dialing differences. Fortunately, our USA /

Canada conference calling service solves these problems and many others.

To better illustrate how our USA / Canada conference calling service works, let’s

assume the following scenario:

• You’re located in the United States

• You would like to host a teleseminar in “lecture” mode

• You will open the lines toward the end of the call for questions and answers

• You have dozens of attendees located in both the United States and Canada

• You would like to record the seminar so you can share or sell it

Though the logistics of the conference call may seem challenging, especially since

you have attendees from two countries, our USA / Canada conference calling service

simplifies everything. First, it’s a pay-as-you-go plan with no contracts or recurring

charges. Thus, if you have just this one need, you can use the service once without

being locked into a commitment of any sort.

The quality of our USA / Canada conference calls is top notch thanks to fiber optic

networks, Avaya-powered conferencing bridges, and triple redundancy built in. Every

connection, from Halifax, Canada to Albuquerque, New Mexico is crystal clear.

We provide both local access and toll free access numbers for cities across the

United States and Canada, making it easy for attendees on both sides of the border

to join your teleseminar. Our per minute rates are extremely competitive, ranging

from 1.7 cents to 3.9 cents per minute. Each conference call supports up to 150

attendees.

Once signed up, here’s how to hold a lecture-style conference call from the United

States to Canada:

• Schedule the USA / Canada conference call with your invitees.

• Invite up to 300 participants from USA and Canada

• Join the call a few minutes prior to the appointed time and put the call in “lecture

only” mode using the Live Online Viewer or free Connect app.

• Watch the Live Online Viewer’s screen to see participants from USA and Canada

arrive.

• Welcome participants and click the “record” button to record the call.

• Begin the conference call.

• When you’re ready to take questions, use the Live Online Viewer or Connect app to

switch out of lecture only mode.

• End the conference call and automatically receive your recording MP3 link and

attendance report.

• Repeat as needed.

Our USA / Canada conference calling service is ideal for any number of use cases

including for hosting teleseminars as described above. Whether you need to

broadcast a message to the masses in USA and Canada or plan on hosting smaller

groups in a conference call, our flexible and affordable conferencing plans are up to

the task.

US & Canada Customer Comments

"We're having very good results using this service. All of our conferees are Canadians. The line quality using your Canada Toll Free number is far better than what we experienced with AT&T Canada conferencing service. What began as a test with your company has proven to be a good decision for our organization. Thank you."
Frank H. -Surrey BC

"No problems to report. Really enjoy using the Live Viewer on our conference calls. We use the 'mute all' feature to stifle any unwanted background noise. The Canada conference plan is a first class service, and happy to report, much less costly than what is available locally here. It always works."
Charles C. -Newfoundland

"Most of our call conferences are in Canada with the exception of a few accessing from New York and San Francisco. We do record and download the MP3 files afterwards. Your service has helped us with our collaboration needs and saved us money to boot."
Michele G. -Toronto, Ontario

"Let me say we all love your service here. It's very timely for us to be able to replace a high priced service with low costs and much higher quality. Very pleased!"
Karen T. -Montreal, Canada

"Superb experience with the conference between us and our Canada and US downline. Many on the call wanted to know who our provider is. We passed your name around so you'll be getting calls I'm sure. Thanks."
Mary O, -Montpelier, Vermont

"Huge monthly savings on our conference costs for my company because we were using Bell Canada at a much higher rate. Thanks."
Christine P. -Brampton, Canada

"Searched for an 800 conferencing service that looked easy to use. It's worked for us and has been very reliable. Good service, easy operation, good line quality, no dropped calls."
Chuck L. -Houston, TX

"Biggest change for us is the monthly savings. Our costs have dropped substantially. We were paying a much higher price per minute for the Canada participants to join us. But also the callers in the U.S. are now 3.9¢! It's all good, thanks very much for checking."
Howard T. -New York, NY

"What features do we most heavily use? The Live Conference Viewer would be on top of the list. We can see who is on the call and have more control which has worked much better than flying blind. It's a great conferencing service for us."
Eric B. -St. Laurent, Canada

"The service just works and the sound quality is tops. Even if we have a caller on the call with a noisy phone, we can easily mute it using the viewer before any damage is done. It's all around the best service compared to what we've tried, about four other services."
Maria C. -Toronto, Canada

"We can now have our regular call conference meetings at a much reduced rate than with the previous local conferencing company."
Robert G. -Ottawa, Canada

"Very easy sign up process, all the features we need, I especially like the free MP3 recordings and the high quality audio. The toll free rates save us money on every call. I do recommend your service to anyone that I can help."
Jesse H. -American Fork, Utah
