CONFERENCE CALLING BENEFITS

Conference calling enables a group of people who are physically separated to hold a meeting by telephone. Conference calling services are offered for free by some conference calling providers, with participants only paying for any long-distance charges incurred by placing a long-distance phone call. Other conference calling services are available for a low fee that provide a toll-free number, which makes participation in the conference call free for participants. The main benefit is the savings realized from not having to incur travel expenses to conduct a meeting.
