Toll Free Audio Conference

Toll free audio conference calls are a convenient and inexpensive way to communicate with a lot of business contacts at the same time. There are many different types of toll free audio conference calling allowing for different sized calls to meet different business needs.

For small businesses that only need to conference with a few people the simple 3-way calling feature that comes with most phone plans may suffice for their audio conferencing needs. The rates for this type of conference calling are determined by the phone company and are often higher than using an independent toll free audio conference service, however.

If your business is larger and you need to hold a meeting or conference between many people who are in different places, a conference call company can help. Conference call services offer audio conferencing, also called teleconferencing, services with a variety of features including toll-free calls or flat-rate calls.

Toll-free audio conference calls are not totally free, the toll free refers to the fact that the call is free for participants because they dial a toll free number to be a part of the call. The person or business that originates the call pays for the call and not each participant.

With toll-free conference calls participants use a toll-free number to dial into the call and the conference call company handles the rest. The rates for this type of call are determined by the minute. Many toll free audio conference companies charge less if you purchase a longer call package and rates vary depending on the length of the call and the company you use. Even though the company that is holding the conference pays for participants to be a part of the conference call it is cheaper than having to pay for travel and accommodation charges for all the people you want included in the conference.

A flat rate conference call package is different than a toll free conference call package because participants do not use a toll free number to connect and have to pay for the call themselves. Participants dial a regular phone number to access the conference call but the business who originates the conference call also has to pay a flat fee to set up the service.

There are lots of conference call companies with different prices and features that you can use to place your conference calls and it is easy to find a bargain if you do some research.
