Look for your low digit for flat rate conferencing When you browse low cost conferencing providers, you'll see they offer rates of just pennies per minute. Locate one of these deals and plan accordingly for your meeting time and number of participants.

I recommend:  Unlimited Conferencing currently offers a per-minute fee at a low rate for some conference calling. A trial offer at ConferenceCalls offers an extremely low rate for up to 50 participants.

Get 800 numbers for toll free conference calling Your 800 number will ensure that you aren't spending high long-distance rates for out-of-town conference call parties. Flat rate conferencing providers offer 800 numbers as part of flat rate packages.

I recommend:  SimplicityCall offers 800 numbers for conference calling or fixes per-month fees for high volume users. ContactCall is another provider offering the 800 toll free service.

Get web-assisted conference calling services With the rise in high-volume conference calls, large solutions providers have come up with ways to add value to audio conferencing. Cisco Systems offers software for adding things like file sharing and call status to an audio conference. Take advantage of these new technologies to give your call participants eyes as well as ears in phone meetings.

I recommend:  Cisco's Unified CallConnector for Microsoft Office is a "presence-based Windows application" with features like call control and caller location. The business edition is Cisco's offer to company clients for comprehensive call management.
