International Conference

How much does your company spend on conference bridges every year?  Conference call hosting, especially hosting calls between participants in different countries, can be a major expense. In these times, financial officers are increasingly looking to find ways to reduce this expense.  Fortunately, there are a number of alternatives to the traditional conference service available that can dramatically reduce the cost.  With a little planning, you can host cross border conference calls for as little as you pay for a domestic call. Here are four tips to help you save money:

1. Use Skype.  If all of your callers have a PC available to them, then Skype will allow you to host up to 10 participants on a call, and those participants can be anywhere in the world.  Callers install the Skype application on their PC’s, and speak to each other using a headset and microphone. Skype is a great option for computer people.
2. Use a flat rate international conference calling service.  One such service, Calliflower, caps your costs at a flat $50/month with unlimited conference calls from 15 countries.  Plus, it includes a host of other innovative features including document sharing and webinars.
3. Have all your callers call a “free” call service.  There are many free services available, which do not charge callers or organizers a fee to participate, but require the participant to make a long distance call instead.  These service providers receive a portion of the price you pay to your long distance carrier.  Depending on your calling plan, this may be a cost effective way for you to organize an international call.
